Ethiopia - Land Governance Country Profile

6. Summary of the Challenges, Gaps, Conflicts and Duplications in Land Governance

• There are weak government and customary institutions that do not address inter-pastoral conflicts and between pastoralists, the government, and farmers

• There are no single institutions for land management. Land Ethiopia is administered and managed by two different legal frameworks and separate institutions. The rural land administration and management under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and Urban land is under The Ministry of Urban Development and Housing

• There is inadequate demarcation, registration and record keeping which has led to overlapping land claims stemming from inheritance and there is results into conflicts;

• There is limited dispute resolution mechanisms of land disputes especially those related to customary land rights.
