EduLand2 - Implementation of Academic Land Administration Education in Ethiopia for Supporting Sustainable Development

The project aims to establish a second Land Administration Competence Center (LACC) at Debre Markos University (DMU) to alleviate the shortage of trained academic workforce and to conduct problem solving research in the field of land administration. A specific focus of the DMU-LACC is given to be fit for future land administration. The project with a proposed duration of four years will strengthen the capacities of all the partner institutions in education, research, and management. It provides a significant contribution for the sustainable development of the nation by joint problem-oriented research, by building academic staff capability, by designing a research-driven BSc curriculum, by joint research activities and by preparing demand driven community services – all on the topic of land administration. The outcomes of the project contribute to improve living conditions of the local population, to guarantee land tenure security, and to provide an objective basis for decision-making in order to support good governance.
