Book excerpt: Although many African countries have recently adopted highly innovative and pro-poor land laws, lack of implementation thwarts their potentially far-reaching impact on productivity, poverty reduction, and governance. The authors use a representative household survey from Ethiopia where, over a short period, certificates to more than 20 million plots were issued to describe the certification process, explore its incidence and preliminary impact, and quantify the costs. While this provides many suggestions to ensure sustainability and enhance impact, Ethiopia's highly cost-effective first-time registration process provides important lessons.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is about implementing low-cost rural land certification. Prior to 1975, Ethiopia's land tenure system was complex and semi-feudal. Tenure was highly insecure, arbitrary evictions were common, and many lands underutilized. High inequality of land ownership reduced productivity and investment, leading to political grievances and eventually the overthrow of the imperial regime in 1975. The Marxist government that took power transferred ownership of all rural land to the state, leading to declines in productivity and soil degradation. A 1997 federal proclamation (law) devolved responsibility for land policy to the regions. Although this has led to considerable inter-regional diversity, a number of common issues emerge, namely (i) administrative land redistribution is not an empty threat; (ii) while land rental is now allowed, the fact that in most regions the amount that can be rented is limited and that land rights are contingent on physical residence in the village could undercut efforts at non-agricultural development and migration from rural areas; and (iii) mortgaging and sale of land are universally prohibited.

This book was released on 2021-06-21 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2021 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Demographics, Urban Management, Planning, grade: 2, Bahir Dar University, course: FuLAND INFORMATION SYSTEM, language: English, abstract: This study is carried out to assess the impact of rural land certification on land development and tenure security. Land is the ultimate resource; without it life on earth cannot be sustained and it is both a physical commodity and an abstract concept in that the rights to own or use it are as much a part of the land as the objects rooted in its soil. Good and proper management of the land is essential for present and future generations with due care and protection. To have good management of land, assuring of owner sense/tenure security by a means of certifying is also a core and indispensable practice of land administration. Therefore, this paper is focus on the impacts of rural land certification on land development and tenure security on the rural farm land users in Sodo Zuria Wereda. More specifically it had been attempted to assess the impacts of rural land certification on the farmers' tenure security; to identify the change of rural farmers' perspectives on tenure security before and after certification; and to investigate the intervention of land certification on land development. Descriptive research designs as well a qualitative and quantitative research approaches were employed.

This book was released on 2016-02-12 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study assesses factors that explain households’ perceived tenure insecurity and the demand for new formalization of land rights in Ethiopia. We use data from the 2013 Agricultural Growth Program (AGP) survey of 7,500 households from high agricultural potential areas of Ethiopia. The results from a logistic estimation and a descriptive analysis reveal that the de-mand for further land demarcation is positively associated with higher perception of tenure insecurity. Moreover, disaggre-gated regression results indicate that ownership and boundary-related disputes characterize peri-urban locations and vibrant communities, whereas perceived risk of government expropriation of land is mainly manifested in predominantly rural com-munities and areas where administrative land redistribution is a recent practices. Hence, the rollout strategy for the recent wave of the Second-Level Land Certification agenda should avoid a blanket approach, as it can only be considered a best fit for those vibrant and peri-urban locations where demand for further formalization is higher and boundary and ownership-related disputes are more common. However, focusing similar interventions in predominantly agrarian communities and communities with recent administrative land distributions may not be advisable since expropriation risk seems to be dictating perceived tenure insecurity of households in such locations. Rather, regulatory reforms in the form of strengthening the depth of rights over land, such as formalization of rural land lease markets and abolishing conditional restrictions on inter-generational land transfers via inheritance or gifting, could be considered as alternative and cost-effective intervention pack-ages in this latter context.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis provides a new approach to the Ethiopian Land Law debate. The basic argument made in this thesis is that even if the Ethiopian Constitution provides and guarantees common ownership of land (together with the state) to the people, this right has not been fully realized whether in terms of land accessibility, enjoyability, and payment of fair compensation in the event of expropriation. Expropriation is an inherent power of the state to acquire land for public purpose activities. It is an important development tool in a country such as Ethiopia where expropriation remains the only method to acquire land. Furthermore, the two preconditions of payment of fair compensation and existence of public purpose justifications are not strictly followed in Ethiopia. The state remains the sole beneficiary of the process by capturing the full profit of land value, while paying inadequate compensation to those who cede their land by expropriation. Secondly, the broader public purpose power of the state in expropriating the land for unlimited activities puts the property owners under imminent risk of expropriation.

This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: security effects (investment effects) and through more efficient input use due to enhanced tradability of the land (factor intensity effect), empirical studies on the size and magnitude of these effects are very scarce. Taking advantage of a unique quasi-experimental survey design, this study analyzes the productivity impacts of the Ethiopian land certification program by identifying how the investment effects (technological gains) would measure up against the benefits from any improvements in input use intensity (technical efficiency). For this purpose, we adopted a data envelopment analysisbased Malmquist-type productivity index to decompose productivity differences into (1) within-group farm efficiency differences, reflecting the technical efficiency effect, and (2) differences in the group production frontier, reflecting the long-term investment (technological) effects. The results show that farms without a land use certificate are, on aggregate, less productive than those with formalized use rights. We found no evidence to suggest this productivity difference is due to inferior technical efficiency. Rather, the reason is down to technological advantages, or a favorable investment effect, from which farm plots with a land use certificate benefit when evaluated against farms not included in the certification program. The low level of within-group efficiency of farms in each group reinforces the argument that certification programs need to be accompanied by complementary measures such as an improved financial and legal institutional framework in order to achieve the promised effects.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there is a large, though inconclusive, literature on the impact of land titles in Africa, little attention has been devoted to the study of land conflict, despite evidence on increasing incidence of such conflicts. Deininger and Castagnini use data from Uganda to explore who is affected by land conflicts, whether recent legal changes have helped to reduce their incidence, and to assess their impact on productivity. Results indicate that female-headed households and widows are particularly affected and that the passage of the 1998 Land Act has failed to reduce the number of pending land conflicts. The authors also find evidence of a significant and quantitatively large productivity-reducing impact of land conflicts. This suggests that, especially in Africa, attention to land-related conflicts and exploration of ways to prevent and speedily resolve them would be an important area for policy as well as research. This paper--a product of Rural Development, Development Research Group--is part of a larger effort in the group to explore the impact of land policies.

Giri and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Land degradation is a major problem in almost all the countries. In most of the developing countries, population pressure and small farm sizes, land tenure insecurity, land redistribution, limited access to credits and limited education are the factors leading to unsustainable land management. In Ethiopia, among many factors, tenure insecurity is considered as a main problem for land degradation. The frequent land redistribution and the changing pattern of land ownership with the change in Government made the farmers insecure of their land resulting in not making land related investments. Considering this fact, the Government of Ethiopia started the Rural Land Registration and Certification Programme (RLRCP) since 1998/99 to provide land titling and tenure security to the farmers. The studies conducted to show the relation between tenure security and investments on land management show mixed results. There are cases where tenure security plays role in making investments on land management and there are also cases where tenure security has no any role in making such investments which made it difficult to draw a conclusion. In Ethiopia, even though most of the studies showed a positive influence of certificates in providing tenure security and investments on land management, most studies are concentrated only in Amhara and Tigaray regions. So this study was carried out in SNNP and Oromia region where RLRCP has been implemented since 2004 to analyse its the initial impacts on investments in soil and land management and also to assess the perceptions of farmers about tenure security after getting land certificates.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject African Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1, course: land admnstration, language: English, abstract: Historically, the Ethiopian farmers had no security on their land and property as it is taken as one reason for the backwardness and poverty. Formal land registration and certification supported by good government policy enhances the sense of belongingness on the land holders. It reduces land related disputes, provides the government with the system to collect tax from the land. Furthermore it helps to facilitate the credit services to the farmers to be highly productive and be engaged in additional developmental activities. However, land tenure insecurity is a major problem of land administration system of the study area. During the derge regime farmers land holding was taken by kebele administrative bodies for their individual interests and land was taken from the farmers for settlement program of the government without any compensation made for the investment made by the farmers on their landholdings..The other problem is that a woman has no right to get land from their families through inheritance, divorce or by gift. Women who want to involve in agricultural activities have no right to get land from the government authorities.The total HH number of the two kebeles is 1734 and from the total HH only 7% of HH selected as survey respondents.
