Second level land certification outcome survey
This large-scale household survey contacted 2,800 households across Amhara, Oromia, SNNPR and Tigray to examine the impact of second level land certification (SLLC) on tenure security, disputes, land rental and credit markets and changes in investment. The survey also investigates landholders’ participation in and satisfaction with the SLLC process and provides evidence on the impact of SLLC on women in male-headed and female-headed households as well as other vulnerable groups.

Research paper on the impact of SLLC on tenure security, investment, and incomes
To strengthen previous quantitative findings on how tenure security translates into increased investments, productivity, and incomes, LIFT conducted a mixed methods study with a strong qualitative component in March 2021. We found strong evidence for tenure security effects resulting from SLLC, with significant reductions in disputes, improvements in perceived tenure security, and around one-fifth of households saying they had made additional investments because of SLLC.
