Land is an important socioeconomic asset where the lives of many people rely upon. Now,
Ethiopia is conducting second level rural land registration and certification program. Despite
the fact that issues of land rights and tenure security are high on the global policy agenda, the
immediate effect of the second level rural land certification and registration for dispute
settlement and income generation is not scrutinized in detail yet. The main objective of this study
is to assess the immediate effects of the second level rural land certification and registration. The
research is conducted in SNNPR, Hadya zone, Lemo Wereda, Belessa and Hayssie Kebelles. The
research used non-probability accidental sampling technique to select sample size for the
questionnaire. In the study both primary and secondary sources are utilized. The research
revealed that the effect of the second level rural land certification increases disputes in the short
run but decreases gradually, increases the revenue of the government, increase the tenure
security of land holders, and in connection to the above it saves time and money of the
government as well as land users. The most important effect of the SLLC is it allows land holders
to take loans by making their certificate as a collateral. This will help land holders in developing
their lands. The Wereda court judges are not using the certificate as an evidence. Rather they
are still using the first level certificate. This shows that they are using an evidence which is null
and void. |
