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.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO LANDAGRARIAN STRUCTUREAGRICULTURAL LANDAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITYAGRICULTUREALLOCATION OF LANDAPARTMENTCITIESCIVIL CODECLIMATECOLLECTIVE FARMINGCOMMON PROPERTYCOMMUNAL LANDCOMMUNITIESCOMPENSATIONCONSTRUCTIONECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTEROSIONEXTERNALITIESFAMILY HOUSINGHOUSING COOPERATIVESIMPROVED LANDINNER CITIESIRRIGATED LANDIRRIGATIONKINSHIPLAND ADMINISTRATIONLAND ADMINISTRATIONSLAND BOOKSLAND CONSOLIDATIONLAND DEGRADATIONLAND DEVELOPMENTLAND DISTRIBUTIONLAND EXPROPRIATIONLAND LEASELAND LEASINGLAND MANAGEMENTLAND MARKETLAND MARKETSLAND OWNERSHIPLAND PLANNINGLAND POLICIESLAND PRODUCTIVITYLAND PROPERTYLAND REALLOCATIONLAND RECORDSLAND REDISTRIBUTIONLAND REGISTRATIONLAND RENTALLAND RESOURCESLAND RIGHTSLAND SALESLAND TAXESLAND TENURELAND TENURE RIGHTSLAND TRANSACTIONSLAND TRANSFERLAND USELAND USE PLANNINGLAND VALUATIONLAND VALUELAND VALUESLANDSLANDUSE PLANNINGMEDIATIONNATURAL RESOURCENATURAL RESOURCESPASTORAL LANDPASTORALISTSPRIVATE PROPERTYPROPERTY RIGHTSPROPERTY TAXESPUBLIC LANDREAL ESTATEREAL PROPERTYRENT CONTROLSRESOURCE USERIVERRURAL AREASRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL LAND USERURAL POPULATIONSOILSUSTAINABLE LAND MANAGEMENTTOWNSURBANURBAN AREASURBAN CENTERSURBAN DEVELOPMENTURBAN EXPANSIONURBAN GROWTHURBAN HOUSINGURBAN INSTITUTIONSURBAN LANDURBAN MIGRATIONURBAN PLANNINGURBAN SECTORURBANIZATIONVILLAGESWATER RESOURCESWorld Bank10.1596/2721
