The study examine the impacts of first level rural land certification objectives in Ethiopia in the case of two Kebelles in Tigray regional state. Theoretically and legally informed land certification used as the tool for facilitating the right to use, the right to manage, the right to income, the right to capital, provide security of tenure, provide security for credit, protect state lands, reduce land dispute, and improve land use planning. It is argued that evaluating the impact of objectives of first level rural land certification is used to measure the level of tenure security, status of land dispute, land transaction process, integrating federal and regional laws on issues of expropriation and compensation. The study employed both qualitative and quantitative research approach. Questionnaire survey, focus group discussions and interviews were used as data collections methods. The findings of the study indicated that first level land certification is a baseline for the objectives defined by the certification program, the certification program is also easily managed by land holders and other stakeholders at the kebele but the regional law lacks coordination with the federal and regional laws. Furthermore, the main cause for tenure insecurity was found to be land distribution, inheritance, and expropriation without compensation. In addition, the study revealed that rural land holders could not use permanent improvement on the land as collateral; they do not have the right to sell and buy permanent improvements on the land especially rural residential houses. The researcher concludes that land holders have positive feeling about first level land certification in the study site but the land law of the country as well the region lack harmonization with FDRE constitution. To address the gaps and to amend the valuable implications, the researcher suggests that the FDRE constitution have to be synchronized with the land law in addressing the gaps in permanent improvements on the rural land to be used as collateral, rural residential house to be sold and bought, local governments should be accountable on matters of expropriation without compensation.
