The Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia is a large, ecologically diverse country with nine regions and two chartered cities (Addis Ababa and Dire Dawa). Though land administration is legislated at the federal level, the regional states have significant powers to adopt the legislation according to their social needs. In an effort to accelerate the land administration services and promote standardization across all regions, the National Rural Land Administration Information System (NRLAIS) was developed for the Rural Land Administration and Use Directorate of the Ethiopian Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources. Responsible and Innovative Land Administration (REILA) I and II projects are supporting the directorate, funded by MFA Finland and implemented by NIRAS as lead company (DAI as partner in REILA II).NRLAIS developed in line with the current semi-digital land tenure procedures, holding and parcel identifications as a pipeline. The system will now be scaled-up across the regions along existing manual land tenure archiving practices.
