Land is the basic economic resource in Ethiopia which accounts the substantial portion of the national GDP. However, the land tenure governance of the country is endowed with many hurdles that affect its efficiency and effectiveness. There are loopholes, ambiguities and controversies in the land governance system of the country. For example, due to the dichotomy that exists between rural and urban land tenure governance, there is a clear loophole in the peri-urban areas land tenure governance. Plus, communal and state land tenures lack proper legal protections. This thesis examines lessons that can be drawn from the three selected African countries (Uganda, Namibia and Tanzania) that have relatively better land tenure governance system in light of the concept of multiple land tenure governance. These countries are selected based on the approach they followed to regulate their land tenure types that can be a solution for the land tenure governance problems of Ethiopia if it is adopted. In doing so, the research adopts a qualitative research approach with a micro-comparative law method. The researcher used legislations and sporadic interview as primary sources and books, journal articles, law reviews, conference proceedings and etc. as secondary sources. In this thesis, it is argued that regulating (legally and institutionally) the land tenure types based on the nature and characteristics of the land tenure is very much necessary to have robust land tenure governance system in Ethiopia. This research founds that the land laws of Ethiopia adopt multiple land tenure types but fail to regulate each land tenure type according to its nature and character. As a result, the land tenure governance approach of Ethiopia is against the concept of multiple land tenure governance. The lesson learnt from the selected African countries land tenure governance is that they have employed multiple land tenure governance approach thereby regulated their land tenure types based on the nature and characteristics of the land tenure type in their respective country. There is no land tenure type unregulated in these countries. Therefore, in this thesis, it is recommended that Ethiopia needs to reform its legal and institutional framework in a way that regulates every land tenure type of the country and hence the country can be benefited from the advantages of multiple land tenure governance.
