Abstract

This study aims to assess urban land management in Ethiopia from a policy perspective. A mixed approach with a concurrent nested strategy was employed. A total of 353 questionnaires were collected from civil servants and clients of urban land management systems, 8 focus group discussions (FGDs) with civil servants, and 24 interviews with experts, middle and top managers were conducted. The data were analysed and presented using logistic and multiple regressions. The results indicated that urban land management in Ethiopia continues to employ outdated and traditional systems. The main reasons for the unsatisfactory state of urban land management in the country are lack of commitment, lack of human resources, political influence, maladministration, instability of rules, etc. These factors are hampering the effective management of urban land in Ethiopia. Hence, people are not satisfied with the service of urban land management. Thus, the regional governments must reconsider the policy, employ an automated system, and work to address the identified problems.
