GLOBAL BENEFITS
Globalization creates new conditions for decision-making as many interdependent, loosely linked sectors and institutions may have shared purposes but no shared authority. Central government continues to be important in the governance of cities, holding crucial fiscal and regulatory powers, as well as normative and political legitimacy. While externalities of public goods reach globally, States internationally behave like private sectors motivated by national self-interest and the nation state remains the main policy-making unit.
 One out of every four countries in the developing world have constitutions or national laws which prevent women from owning land and/or taking mortgages in their own names. Customary or legal constraints to women owning land or property are highest in Africa, Arab states, Asia and Latin America. GHF works with governments and demands that deeds are signed over mostly to women. This ensures that GHF homes go to families, and helps advance international women's rights.
