As an international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations, the federally owned Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH supports the German Government in achieving its development-policy objectives.

In Ethiopia, GIZ has been working for more than 40 years in bilateral cooperation on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and on commission of the Ethiopian government and international donors.

In order to strengthen agricultural productivity and production and to modernize agriculture in Ethiopia, the Ministry of Agriculture is pursuing strategies for nationwide land consolidation and strengthening land sector institutions. The widespread fragmentation of agricultural land is a major challenge for a more productive agricultural sector. However, legal and social framework conditions for the fair and participatory reorganization of the agricultural area are limited. The responsible regional authorities also lack the required capacities and expertise to implement land consolidation procedures.

The Land Governance project supports the Ministry of Agriculture ( MoA ) and regional Land Administration and Use Bureaus to implement participatory land consolidation and voluntary land exchange as instruments of sustainable land governance. The project follows a multi level process engaging with local authorities and communities in the planning, reallocating, and registering land parcels. Simultaneously, closely work with federal and regional actors to develop legal frameworks and build institutional Capacity.

In the newly founded regions of Southern Ethiopia, capacities of land administrations to plan and implement measures against land fragmentation are still insufficient. The project therefore supports land administrations in Southern Ethiopia in Institution-Building and Capacity Development to be able to implement measures against land fragmentation in the future.

The driver will report to the head of component for Output III of the project.
