Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Internationale Zusammenarbeit Assistant for Office Administration and Finance Jobs in Ethiopia
In this context, the TC project pursues the objective of creating sound conditions for the implementation of participatory land consolidation procedures.
As such, the framework conditions for increased agricultural productivity are improved, and thus contribute to improving the living conditions of smallholders as well as to economic development in the concerned rural areas.
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.
