  • In this context, the TC project pursues the objective of creating sound conditions for the implementation of participatory land consolidation procedures.

  • Hence, the target group is the rural population in the selected project areas, and in particular landowners whose agricultural productivity is impaired by the fragmentation of their land.

    Activities will be carried out in the following intervention areas:

  • Strengthening the competencies of staff of relevant national and regional authorities and civil society organizations

  • Development and piloting of participatory procedures and guidelines with Ethiopian authorities/organizations

  • Support in the development of legal frameworks to ensure a constitutional approach to land consolidation.

  • In selected pilot areas, sensitization and communication measures for the local population will be carried out in coordination with other TC projects and support will be provided for the training of land consolidation committees (LCC) as well as for voluntary parcel swaps.
  • The project’s implementing partner is the Rural Land Administration and Use Directorate in the Ministry of Agriculture.
