This study assessed the practice of good governance principles in rural land administration in
Borena Woreda. Specifically, the study assessed the performance of good governance in rural
land administration from perspective of transparency, accountability, equity and responsiveness
principles. All the necessary data required for this study were gathered from both primary and
secondary sources. For this study the sample were selected by using simple random sampling
method and key informants were selected purposively. In the study area, 184 sample respondents
were included. In addition, a researcher gathered information by using Interview and Focused
Group Discussion with purposively selected experts, managers, officials and employers. To
analyses the collected data, a combination of both quantitative and qualitative analysis methods
together with descriptive and inferential statistics were employed. Quantitative data which were
generated from questionnaire survey were analyzed by using both descriptive statistics in the
form of Tables, Frequency, Percentages, and inferential statistics (binary logistic regression)
through Microsoft excel and SPSS version 24 software. Qualitative data that were collected from
key informant’s interview, FGDs with mangers of RLAU office and experts and observation were
analyzed through descriptive methods. The findings of this study showed that corruption and rent
seeking behavior, lack of skilled manpower, lack of committed land administration officials,
weak monitoring and evaluation and implementation gaps were the major factors that inhibit the
implementation of good governance principles in rural land administration. The result of this
study also indicated that the practice of transparency, accountability, equity, and responsiveness
was poorly applied within the rural land administration activities. Strengthening and making
clear rules and regulations, proclamations and policies on land accessible to the public were
stated as recommendations |
