 ABSTRACT

The study focuses on the impact of rural land registration on tenure security and taxation in Kuyu
Wereda. The principle objective of the study is to assess the farmers view on rural land
registration in Kuyu Wereda .The research will be purposely select one kebele, this kebele will
be first level registration carried out. At study area data collected from questionnaires and
interview will be the research employed. The study identify the impact of the existing land
registration to taxation activity, analyze the input of certificate on rural land rights and taxation
in decision making during claim and the importance of rural land registration on tenure
security ,better land management, boundary dispute resolution and taxation from local
community perspective

CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTON

1.1 Background of the study

Land registration is a process of official recording of land through deeds or as a title of

properties. Land registration makes possible increase level of security of tenure that promotes
productive land use investment in land resource of improving land management. An effective
land registration also make possible development mortgage market up on which functioning
economy depends and will support an active land market (Seid, H. 2008)

Land registration system has long historical development mostly 18 th and 19th centuries.
Institution associated with the system has involved as the need their societies. East European
countries are presently going through transient from the community model of collective owner
ship of land to privatization of land holding. All countries are systematic recording of land rights
merely every countries has land register rather than deed registration (Mark,A.2006).In south
Asia a number of titling programs under way in south East Asia, most totally Thailand’s but, also
in Cambodia Laos, Indonesia, Phi land and Vent ham. Each of those countries is under taking
land registration system exercise for segmented their land area. While Thailand’s experience the
most documented and success full, it remains paper based system (Ibid).

4
When we come to African countries, land registration is a new phenomenon when compared on
European countries, because of most African countries under colonies by different other
countries. Most of earlier registration program concerns settler’s roof space, leaving the rest of
land in customary tenure regime. South Africa, Kenya, Uganda and Gahanna stated land
registration through their government’s initiation 1960.

Land registration system in Ethiopia had along historical, which was started during emperor men
like who issued that instigated the counties land registration and cadastral surely in Addis Ababa
in 1909. This the land owner were to be given certificate referred to as ‘’yeristworequt ‘’ or title
deed which was to be written in Amharic and French with map showing the boundary of
neighbor (Pankhurst B.1996). During the regime of Emperor Haile Selassie the ministry of land
reform and administration engaged in measuring registration rural land collaboration with
mapping ardency until 1974. This involved cadastral surely to create the system of freehold
tenure register individual title to land and institute of land sake. (Abebe, S.2006)

After the land reform of 1974 during the dreg period nearly established a lower administrative
structure which is known as peasant association were give the power of the registration,
including the boundary of area for which then are responsible. In Ethiopia through aeries of
proclamation the federal government has instated a national effort to register all rural lands
similar proclamation are being introduced by the regional government in all of those there are
references to datum that must be collected on each holding and there for indirectly beginning the
discussion an appropriate souring techniques (Row ton, S.19760).

Ethiopia at the horn of Africa has numerous resources and occupied by most subsistence
agricultural engaged people on rough to epigraphy witch need various land management practice
for further development in different ways. As pointed out across Africa, more than half of their
populations are not only rural bound and substation land (Omoweh, D. 2002 p.2 0).The main tool
to address this big country level issue is land administration (rural land registration) and (taxation
)which require techniques, budget , effective institutional set up, functional legislation and strong
commitment of people and decision makers (Roth, M.2002, p.1. Registering rural land enhances
tenure security in many perspectives, which lands properly for future sustainable development,
promote investment, reduce land.

5
Disputes facilitate in heritance transferring, suit for taxation purpose or encourage wise use of
land from environmental as well as economical point of view. It is obviously that land insecurity
in general reduces land productivity and poverty alleviation in abrader sense to a poor society
like Ethiopia (Deininger, k 2005, p.2). This paper focus on the real situations of the area to be
study, there for, this study tries to focus on the actual existing Ethiopian farmers view about rural
land registration and taxation in kuyu woreda gora kebele which is fist level registration was
carried out.

1.2 Statement of the Problem

Ethiopia is a food deficit country and one of the cause for this apart from subsistence agriculture,
is lack of tenure security, land insecurity is deep- rooted problem of rural farmers in our country
because of not only that land is owned by state but also absence of legally supported documents
to use and transfer rights land administration activity started in 2003 in Oromia region to
decrease problem on land issue without discussion with the local community meaning
indigenous knowledge was not match considered as input for sustainable development at that
time (proc. No. 99/2003 p.7)

This activity also related to rural tax system since tax is based on area of land farmers who have
the same amount of land has paid the same tax but produce different amount of product on the
contrary, farmers did not volunteer to give genuine information about their land during
registration and not collect the land certificate on time which is free of charge land
administration by nature need participatory with strong commitment, techniques, fiancé, tools
and legislation and with well institutional set up even though it was not functional revised rural
land administration and use national regional state (RLAUONRS) proclamation No. 151/2012
article 49 sub article 3 says that the system of land administration shall be based on public
participation (IBID).

Those entire problems related in bad land management and hence promote poverty in the long
turn. The main issue for land management is a land use plan (LUP) but, that is not yet précised in
the region including the study area. However the same document noted that much rural land shall
as much as possible, have land use plan issued by the concerned body based on tidy. To smooth
all these things collecting view of people about exiting rural land registration and taxation system

6
should be necessary. Therefore, this study will try to identify the problems related with the rural
land registration and taxation system in the case of Southern Shewa Kuyu District Gora Kebele.

1.3. Objectives of the Study

1.3.1. General Objective

The general objective of the study is to assess the impact of rural land registration for tenure
security and taxation in kuyu woreda gora kebele

1.3.2 Specific objective

 To examine the impacts of the existing land registration to taxation activity

 To examine the importance of rural land registration for tenure security.

 To examine the contribution of the existing land registration to taxation activity

1.3. Research Question

1. What are some of the impact of rural land registration and taxation?

2. What are the modes of land registration of land hold?

3. What are the importance of rural land registration for tenure security, better land management,
boundary dispute resolution and taxation?

1.4. Scope of the study

As much as possible the positive and negative impact of rural land registration on taxation will
be assessed in this study. It also investigates the legal and institutional set up of rural land
registration taxation and responsibilities of administrative staff for these activities from lower to
higher level were assessed in this paper.

1.5. Organization of the study

This study has five chapters, chapter one deals with the introduction part of the study it has been
concerned the background of the study, statement of the problem, significance of the study,
scope of the study and the objective of the study. Chapter two it deals with the view of literature

7
it has concerned with some theoretical concept of land registration and taxation. Chapter three
focused on background of the research methodology of the study area. Chapter four dais with
results and discussions with the data collect from defend sources. Chapter five is the final chapter
which has been concerned with concision and recommendation of the study

CHAPTER TWO; LITERATUR REVIEW

2.1 The Rural Land Registration

In Ethiopia there has never been a system of systematic rural land registration. During the
imperial regime before 1974, land owners register their land using local unit of measurement, to
enable tax collection (Abera, W. 2008 p7).

Rural land registration is one of the practices of performing rural land and administration issues.
It is the process whereby rural land holding security is provided, land use planning is
implemented, dispute between rural land holders are solved, and right and obligation and any
rural land holder are enforced as well as information farm plots and grazing land of holders are
gathered, analyzed and supplied to users, whereas land registration is an activity of registering
the detailed information about location, area, boundaries, fertility grade and the identity of the
holder on the book concerning the rural land (proc. No. 110/2007 p5-6).

The family members are also listed on land hold certificate and in book of register; it also has
household leader (husband and wife) photographs. The same legal documents define family
members. If any (who permanently live with land holder sharing the livelihood of the later and
who does not have his own regular income all the is under taken with the help of kebeles land
administration and use committee (KLAUC) (Abera,W. 2008p7).

Poor people on fragmented land have exercised rural land registration “land poor” remain poor
not simply because their holding are small, but also their land rights are weak and insecure. In
Ethiopia there is no title registration but, there is land possession registration. In turn, land titling
and security of tenure would create the necessary incentive for small farmer in Africa to invest
their land through a variety of activities such as land leveling, tracing and other type of
improvement that would increase yield and output. In other words the absence of clear titling and

8
property rights is seen as major institutional constraint to the growth of agricultural production in
Sub Sahara (Ibid).

In order to register formally some ones interest in land the land has to be adjudicated. After this
land processor should know what, how, when, where and who performs the rural land
registration activity. It was also common in Ghana as Alhassan, O and Manuh, T mentioned,
knowledge about formal land registration is generally high in the pineapple growing
communities but, this does depend on who is being asked. Among the medium to large pineapple
growing campaniles there is a very high awareness of the process (Alhassan, O and Manuh, T.
2005, p13). On the other hand Omoweh, D stated that in fact land registration has no really led to
tenure security given the long drawn red tapism and hidden interest of the bureaucrats who are
involved in the administrative process of land titling and cadastral drawing of boundaries
(Omoweh, D. 2003 p 11).

Policy makers all over the world are increasingly aware of that lack of appropriate legal and
administrative bases for land administration, or gross mal-distribution of land asset which
markets are not able to overcome. This can provide a series obstacle to long term and sustainable
and sustainable economic development. In fact a large number of countries have, during the last
decade, enacted innovative pieces of land legislation and initiated institutional reforms to
increase the security of tenure and to ease or transferring of it between users. There is also
growing recognition that, even though it is necessary, legal form by itself will not improve tenure
security and transferability of land and that success full reform will require a version of overall
goal, a country specific prioritization of issues and a long term commitment that is part of
broader consensus (Deininger, K. 2005, p.3).

Land administration according to as cited by Roth, M has five components such as juridical,
regulatory, fiscal, cadastral, and conflict resolution. It is also covered by two means in Ethiopia
like other African countries Arko-Adje, noted that land administration in Ghana is governed by
both customary practice and enacted legislation. Registration is the practice of recording some
event or claim in an official recorded. Land registration is means to protect use right of holdings.

2.2. Method of Rural Land Registration

There are two types of rural land registration; these are non-conventional and conventional way
of registration. All of the woreda land in the region were registered non conventional (traditional
way of registration) and conventionally. The first conventional way will be précised in two plot
area (Gora kebele) situated in Kuyu wereda in case of Gora kebele administrative zone
(Abera,2008)

2.2.1 Non Conventional Way of Registration

In non conventional way of registration land information are recorded in estimation. These are
like land size, commonly in timad (local measurement unit and one timad equal to 0.25h), and
general boundary (meaning not fixed one) non conventional way of registration is simple, need
less skilled person and not need too much time. Generally as a result it is not costly: it has
relatively less input to solve land administration activity like boundary dispute resolution when
compared to the conventional way of registration, also updating is limited there here on the other
hand as Tolmin, C pointed out from the majority of people cheaper, simpler, locally grounded
system of registration can better meet their need for secure tenure (Abera, W 2008. P 9).

2.2.2 Conventional Way of Registration

When we come to conventional way of registration, it is the way of getting genuine land
information like land size, fixed boundary map. It is somewhat complex, need skilled person and
need too much time. As a result it input the further land administration activity like boundary
dispute resolution or reducing litigation and update is high. It use surveying tools like global
positioning system (GPS) or total station to collect parcel coordinate points or central point to
calculate parcels area and to define its boundaries(IBID).

Rural land administration, particularly, land registration started after the acceptance of rural land
proclamation by the country parliament. Berhanu and Fayera A.2005 cited on their paper of
research report 3, land registration in Amhara region, Ethiopia from 2005, a rural land
administration and use proclamation was drafted by ministry of agriculture and rural
development (MOARD) and presented to the parliament for approval.

The objective of this bill is to conserve and developed the nations varies ecosystem and set up a
land administration system which will identify federal and state land current use right. The bill

10
will also approved a legal frame work to enhance tenure security for farmers in the high land
area who take measures to prevent soil erosion and forest depletion. The proclamation also stated
that, land on very steep slopes should be either taken out of cultivation or should be used only for
free crops and fodder trees production frame may lose their right to land, if they fail to manage it
properly (Abera, W. 2008 p 11).See diagram 1

2.2.3. Benefits, Right and Obligation of Rural Land Registration

The new land administration and use proclamation provide the possibility that land holders can
lease land pass it to their family members, and use it as collateral to borrow money. The benefit
is particular oriented to some grow up of the society. Land registration system, within context of
strong local government can survey the poor. But the details of the registration mechanism are
critical for the level of its success. In the process of land registration communal, lands, forest and
grazing area will also be delineated registered and certified. Certification of land title is also
expected to help in reducing conflicts over land boundaries and use right among farmers (Abera,
W. 2008, p 12-13).

However under African condition, farmers with the issue tenure might try to establish secure
claims to use right by making visible improvement to their land. That is, undertaking
investments, this later can be used to justify a claim to use right or even ownership. Individual
land tenure depends on formal legal structure at the national level. Access to land is not static,
nor is tenure over land as circumstance change, farmer’s access and secure tenure to land may
also change. This circumstance may include legal revisions, such as the forma registering of
land, or economic changes such as increasing agricultural productivity or population pressure on
the land. Many much changes have been occurring in Africa (Doss, C1999, p.11).

It gives legal protection of possession right in our county context. For a piece of land, possessors
have bundle of right like bundle of sticks. The whole process of registration enables us to collect
documents about land as evidence to decide all about land issue. Mitiku, Hetal 2005 pointed out
that, whether as part of registration system of separately, protection of enforcement of the right
to varies interest in the pieces of land is essential. This may accomplished through a single body
or a combination of informal or formal administrative or judicial, government or private sector,
local community based or distant and centralized, cheap or costly, it may be done periodically
and all at once or episodically and individually. Without such protection, right and registration of
right lose much of their value (Mitiku, H.etal.2005 P.5)

12
2.2.4. Constraints of land registration

The former land system has its own influence to new intervene rural land administration directly
as well as indirectly. This is because no applicable downbeats clarity farmers right and obligation
on third holding. This idea in general is supported by Shewakena ,A 2007 However, in many
countries land rights are ambiguous and poorly define which leads to contusion and difficult to
implement (Shewakena,A 2007, p.1).

Even at present, suitable land policy is a most in white print but, don reach to the ground as
wanted as possible. The main thing here is that local people participation before during laws was
hull. On the other hand the proclamation number 110/2007 of art 20 shams theft the system of
land administration is based on public participation this means that it is being donned to top
approach. At this time, people might distend the objective approach. At this time people might
distend the objective to the opposite than its purpose (procc.No.110/2007, p.7).

During registration, genuine land information should be for warred from the community and
enhance its belief as evidence for future land administration. There for them whole being fasten
land tenure security in general which links strongly to the poverty status of the country this idea
is supported by proclamation 110/2007 article 23 that registration carried out based on false
information shall not have legal effect (Ibib).

2.3. The Rural Land Taxation

Taxation involves transform of money from individual to government. The transfer and not
voluntary but come usury property tax as an ascot redistribution tool. New locative much would
be required to accomplish that objective (Abera, W. 2008, P.15).

Land tax have long been identified as a source of own revenge for local government that is
associated with minimal distortions and at the same time can encourage more intensive land use.
Even though the extent to which land tax are used varies widely across countries actual revenges
are generally well below their potential. Reasons for this include deficient in centime structures
and neglect of issues relating to assessment, tax administration, and tax rate dotting, in addition
to the potential difficulty of having significant land tax (Ibid). Generally good characteristics of
taxation where cited by Kayuza, which stated as the traditional four canons of taxation are:

13
 i. Equity:- fairness with respect to the tax impact of different individuals
ii. Certainty:- lack of arbitrariness or uncertainty about tax liability.
iii. Convenience:- with respect to the timing and manner of payment
iv. Efficiency:- a small cost of collection as proportion of revenue raised, and the
avoidance of distribution effects on the behavior of tax payers (the principle of
neutrality)

Each farmer who has rural land pay tax at a time in two non divisible times called rural land use
fee and agricultural activities income tax. All types are paid for October 9 to May 8 each year,
since at this time all farmers are expected to collect their product. Ethiopia chamber of commerce
(ECC) and Ethiopian business development service network (EBDSN) Published in line with the
economic policy and structural set up the federal democratic republic of Ethiopia the former tax
on income from agricultural activities and the land use rent revised in 1995. Since income tax
from this source was allocated to regional state in consonance with the provision of the new
constitution of 1994. Each regional state is entitled to issue a proclamation providing for such a
tax and rent. Presently regional states have their own land use rent system (Abera, W 2008).

2.3.1 Benefit, Right and Obligation of Rural Land Tax

Rural land tax is one of the sources of government budget. It is used to carry out development
activity of the country. Indirectly it also addresses land management issues. Some of the benefits
of land tax are development, re development, equity and fairness.

access right to land and natural resource, land use plane, social and gender issue environmental
economics, environmental information system, environmental research , environmental impact
assessment and environmental education and awareness (Abera, W. 2008,p.18)

Every farmer has right to accept correct receipt for what he paid to land tax collectors. Each
person who is engaged in agriculture should be pay tax for use right of his/her holding according
to the base of taxation of our country (Ibid).

14
2.3.2 Past History of Rural Land Tax

South nation, national regional state revenue authority training material Witten by our official
language the so called Amharic says that taxation with the establishment of governance evidence
of written documents about the presence of rural land tax is seen in our country during 15 th
century. Tax collected from individuals in kind (cereal, timbe, animal, elephant teeth, and gold
and traditional cotton raw material), labor and in cash here and there, this condition continued up
to the beginning of 19century. Since people could not pay in cash, new proclamation was
adopted in 1903, to pay tax one tenth of the amount of crop farmer produces, it used for
militaries purpose, all most tax payers would be forced to pay in cash after 1908(Abera,W
2008,p.18)

2.3.3 Present History of Rural Land Tax

In Ethiopia rural land tax will be collected based on the area of the land. The commonest land
taxation systems are based on land size and quality. On the other hand in the absence of
understandable land use plane of a given locality, the land tax administration on quality active
criteria has been identified as a very difficult task to carry out. While the system of land taxation
varies from country to country, actual revenues from land tax are below their potential. The
objective of land taxation in Ethiopia seems to be defined by signal criteria (as revenue
collection scheme) than multiple criteria. Such objective fails to capture the variability and
diversity of biophysical environment. Targeting on land size criteria would worse off the
environmental wellbeing. (Abera,W.2008 P.19)

CHAPTER THREE: MATERIALS AND METHODS

3.1. Description of the study area

Kuyu Woreda is one of the eighteen woredas in North Shewa Administrative Zone of Oromia
National Regional State. It is found in the northwest of Addis Ababa. The Woreda is bordered by
West Shewa Zone in the West, Ware Jarso Woreda in the North, Hidebu Abote Woreda in the
East, and Dagam Woreda in the South. Astronomically, it is located at about 9o 36' 34" to 9o
56'56" north latitude and 380 05'00" to 38o 34'13" east longitude. The total area of the woreda is
950.75 square kilometers. It is the fourth largest district in North Shewa Zone of the Oromia
Regional State. The woreda is divided in to 23 rural and four urban (two kebeles in Garba

15
Guracha, one kebele of Bucho Town and one Kebele of Biriti Town). The woreda’s current
administrative capital town, 23 Garba Guracha, is located about 156 kilometers northwest of
Addis Ababa

Fig 3.1 map of study area

3.1.1 Population

Based on figures from the central statical agency in 2022, Kuyu has an estimated total population
of 183,623 of whom 90,400 were males and 92,283 were females

16
The woreda is a moderately populated area where the population density is about 160 persons
per square kilometer. Majority of the households have a household size ranging from 3 to 8
members (CSA, 2015).

3.1.2 Climate

Kuyu Woreda found with in the central lava highlands of Ethiopia commonly known as Shewa
Plateau. The altitude of the district varies between 1200 meters and 2800 meters above mean sea
level. Majority of its area (91percent) lies above 1500 meters and belongs to the highland parts
of the country. Even most of its areas that are found below 1500 meters are river valleys. Most of
the lands in the dega (Bada in Afan Oromo) agro climatic zone are flat (plateau) and cut by small
number and size of streams majority of which are seasonal. The lands in this zone are intensively
cultivated and densely settled. The Qolla (gammojji in Afaan Oromo) and woinadega (Bada dare
in Afaan Oromo) parts, on the other hand, are severely cut by running water and are
characterized by several gullies, escarpments, cliffs and resistant rocks. It, therefore, undoubtedly
belongs to some of the severely eroded parts of the country. The qolla parts of the PAs are
characterized by extensively barren rocky lands and very steep slopes

3.2 Research Approach

3.2.1 Types of data

3.2.1.1. Qualitative Data

Data will be gathering by using text or without number. Primary data gathering tools will use
because it gives current and factual information about the study. On the other hand, the data
result will support by secondary data will be gather from relevant government documents,
Internet and books.

3.2.1.2. Quantitative Data

Quantitative data is concerned with numbers and conducts research using mathematical
operations. Numbers, tables, charts, and figures have been used to represent it.

17
3.3 The Target Population and sampling techniques

This study will be use simple random sampling technique because of it is flexibility and
simplicity characteristics. In this case from the selected area out of 11583 surveyed lands holder
30 listed farmers are systematically choose from each Got (Ketena). Here the sample size is
small because of logically small size reduce and minimize errors and also it’s difficult to manage
the cost: like money, time, and labor, if the sample is large. And the people on the study area
have the same characteristics in terms of social, economic and political aspects.

3.4. Sources and Method of Data Collection

This study will use interview and questionnaires data collection method. Interview it may be
structured or face to face interview method that means preparing questionnaires or direct
interviewing of the selected bodies based on land registration and taxation of the study area.
Questionnaires, this method will be collect information by preparing questionnaires and
distributing it for those concerned bodies based on the study area land registration and taxation
information. This method has its own advantage because of it is cheap, responded not influxes,
disseminate similar information, set from far area give free and frank information etc.

3.4.1. Questionnaire

This type of data gathering instrument helps to gather data from a large number of population
groups. The method provides respondents to be free and provide their opinion. In the study both
structured and semi structured questionnaire would use. Structured questionnaire help direct
answers from the respondents and semi structured questionnaire helps to get direct and to the
point and provided space to the respondents to give their opinion. These two types of
questionnaires enable the data gathering to be effective.

3.4.2. Interview

In this study unstructured interview questions would be use. This type of interview questions
enables the respondents to answer the question in detailed. More valid answers about their
opinion and values will be obtained.

3.5. Data type and source

For this study will be use both primary and secondary data sources.

18
Primary: - data source are taking from the selected kebeles by direct interviewing and
questionnaires of kebeles selected farmers or household, kebeles land administration, committee,
and district revenue office (RO), etc.

Secondary: - data source will be collected from internet access, books, any research before done
and other legal documents like registration and taxation work performance report from the study
area.

3.6. Methods Data Analysis

The collected data will be analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively it is analyzed by special
computer software and other important points from various groups of respondents in the study
