The Ethiopian government has prioritized land issues in its growth and transformation agenda. Rapid advancements in land rights, rooted in the constitution, have significantly contributed to national development. As Ethiopia aims to become a middle-income country, the evolving rural-urban landscape is becoming increasingly dynamic. To support this transformation, the government has identified improved access to urban land, infrastructure, and services, integrated housing development, and the promotion of urban-rural links as key development strategies.

To achieve these goals, it is essential to establish a transparent, accountable, sustainable, and effective land administration system.
