Land Registration in Ethiopia: Early Impacts on Women

This publication from the Global Land Tool Ntework belongs to a series of research reports examining the changing landscape of land tenure security in developing countries. The intent is to provide up – to date information to land professionals and policy – makers working in the land sector and to raise awareness on what is being done at the country level.

This study focuses on how Ethiopian land law has been implemented in practice. In particular it examines how the position of women, in cases of divorce or death of their husbands, may have changed and whether the new laws have impacts on the empowerment of women.
