Over the coming decades, land policy and
administration, for urban as well as rural areas, will be
critical for Ethiopia's development. The vast majority
of people making up the Federal Democratic Republic of
Ethiopia's (FDRE) predominantly agricultural economy
live in rural areas. Finally, land policies and
administration can contribute significantly to the
objectives of promoting gender equality and protecting
vulnerable groups in Ethiopia. This report aims to assist
the government of Ethiopia in improving the performance of
its land administration system based on a detailed review
and lessons from Ethiopia and other countries. The three key
areas for improvements and options for improving the land
administration system summarized in the action matrix below
are the: a) legal and regulatory framework; b)
administrative capacity and organizational set-up; and,
based on these, c) provision of efficient, cost-effective,
and sustainable land administration services and land management.
