LIFT’s study on formal registration of land transactions in Ethiopia
For Ethiopia’s land registry to stay up to date, farmers are required to formally register subsequent land transactions with local authorities. To get a statistically significant and representative estimate of how many landholders are formally registering land transactions with the rural land administration system as opposed to following informal practices, LIFT carried out a large-scale survey interviewing 9,600 landholders across Amhara, Oromia, Tigray and the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples’ Region.
