The second Multi-Stakeholders Dialogue Forum (MSD 02) was held from 29 to 31 March 2022 in Bahir Dar city, the capital of the Amhara region. The MSD Forum brought together 115 representatives of government officials, technical experts, investors, local community representatives, development partners, and the media in order to find solutions to the various challenges in the governance of largescale agricultural investments in Ethiopia. The three-days MSD meeting included presentations, group work and field visits. Participants identified four categories of critical governance challenges in the land administration sector and proposed corresponding solutions to the identified issues.
These four categories of concerns that urgently require the attention of those authorities, that are directly or indirectly involved in the operations and management of the largescale agricultural investments, are i) legal framework and policy issues on land administration and land use; ii) land data and information management system; iii) institutional and human capacity development needs; and iv) actor harmonization.
