TABLE OF FIGURE
WE wound like second thanks our instructor ABEDU,M (PHD) main registrar of Ethiopian Civil
Service University. He make endless effort to make our research proposal was make fruit full.
Consistently allowed this paper to be our own work, but steered us in the right direction whenever he
thought we needed it.
We would also like to thanks also AACADFRP experts who were open their office and make
available data what we required. They involved in the collecting of real numerical displaced
farmers data from their document memo.
Land tenure refers to the complex relationship between categories of individuals, groups and
the government with respect to land and related resources. According to FAO (2002), the
Relationship could be defined legally or customarily and land tenure is an important part of
social, Political and economic structures. It is multi-dimensional, bringing into play social,
technical, economic, institutional, legal and political aspects that are often ignored but must
be taken into account. Land tenure relationships may be well-defined and enforceable in a
formal court of law or through customary structures in a community. Land tenure is often
categorized as private, communal, open access and state. Land right; on the other hand, refers
to rights held to land and other natural resources.
‘’In rural residents of most developing countries, including Ethiopia, land is the main
economic, political, social and cultural asset. It is the crucial source of generating livelihood
income for the society. It remains an asset that farmers have to accumulate wealth and
transfer the same to future generation. Moreover, the issue of land has not simply remained
to be an economic affair but also it is very much intertwined with the people’s culture and
identity’’ (gashaw, 2015). In a nutshell, land related issues in developing countries are the
most sensitive part of overall development that government needs to consider (girma, 2011).
“In Ethiopia, land is the common property of the state and the people, and, hence, is not
subject to sale, exchange or mortgage. Rural farmers and pastoralists are guaranteed a plot of
land free of charge while urban residents can secure the same through ground lease
arrangement” (gashaw, 2015 ).
Cited on Irit Equvavoen and weynitesfay, displacement of people in the context or as a result
of development intervention has been identified as “the most important forced migration
problem worldwide” of our time (Pankhurst and piguet 2009: 250, also de wet 2006). Cited
Cited on Feyera Abdissa, Ethiopia is one of the least urbanized countries in the world. It has
only 16% of its population living in urban centers (PCC, 2008). However, given the 2.73%
total annual population growth rate, high rate of migration to towns, and increase in the
number of urban centers, the rate of urbanizations increasing at rate of 4.4%
(MOFED,2006). Even though there are more than 900 urban centers in Ethiopia, Addis
Ababa, its capital city, consisted of about 23% of the total urban population in the country
(PCC,2008).
To accommodate the ever increasingly population, and commercial expansion, Addis Ababa
city has been expanding horizontally towards its peri-urban areas (Feyera, 2013).
The Addis Ababa city put long and short-term plans to alleviate inner city renewal in line
with free market economic policy by creating open space for private investment (AACA
2000: 10-12). In the process of creating open space in the inner city, urban displacement and
relocation of the occupants to the periphery on agricultural and forest land became a
necessity which resulted in dispossession and dislocation of farmers (Feyera Abdissa, 2013).
On the other hand, Addis Ababa has attracted a large investment in the country (AACA1997:
7).
The overall trend and picture of Addis Ababa’s population and area growth pattern indicates
that it is the most accelerated growth rates in the world. This accelerated growth is also
accommodated by the conversion of agricultural and forest land to urban settlement.
Although it is a young city compared to several other urban centers in the country, it has
grown from simple military settlement “large number of tents" in 1886 (Pankhurst, 1962) to
large metropolitan city covering about 54, hectares today.
The ongoing expansion process capture less the view of farmers who were forced to leave
their land and property. Therefore, the effect of this process of urban expansion on the
surrounding farming community needs to be clearly known in order to reduce the negative
impact.
All of farmers were not got their compensation, although clear compensation regulation is
available in shelf, even substantial farmers were not got their compensation
(AACADFRPtargetingdirective, 2017). Most of word 13 displaced farmers are live in poor
soci-economic condition, they became landless, homeless, marginalize, no potable water and
electric service (AACADFRP, revised plan, 2017). They need urgentineconomic and social
aid (AACADFRP, supporting frame work, 2017).
Developing countries are characterized by low economic growth, traditional way of production, low
living standard high level of unemployment.Rapid urban expansion is the main manifestation of most
developing countries.The ongoing expansion process capture less the view of farmers who
were forced to leave their land and property. Therefore, the effect of this process of urban
expansion on the surrounding farming community needs to be clearly known in order to
reduce the negative impact. The fastest growing of Addis Ababa city in all direction leads to
expropriation of farmers from their farm and grazing lands (AACADFRP support
framework, 2017). Five sub cities such as Yeka, Bole, Kolefikeraneyo, NefasSilke and
AkakiKaliti were predominately farmers displaced due to mainly the expansion of new
residence (FRP revised plan, 2017). According to farmers rehabilitation project of 2017 G.C
displaced farmers’ registration 4300 male and 2403 female headed peoples were listed out,
and 32,296 families also displaced from it (AACADFRP, strategic, 2017). From yeka sub

cities, woreda13 was one of the victims in urban expansion, dozens of farmers were
displaced from their farm and grazing land when its compare with other sub cities and
woredas549 households were lose their tenure (AACADFRP revised plan, 2017). Even
though many researches has been conducted on socio-economic impact of displaced farmers,
the solutions given were not satisfactory. so, we will conduct this study for the sake of pointing
out appropriate solutions on such type of issues.
How do governmental development activities affect the social life of displaced farmers?
How do governmental development activities affect the economic activities of displaced
farmers?
What are the major factors to displace farmers?
How farm land evaluation directives are practiced?
Based on the 2007 Census conducted by the Central Statistical Agency of Ethiopia (CSA),
Addis Ababa has a total population of 3,384,569 of whom 1,627,896 are men and 1,756,673
women; all of the population is urban inhabitants. For the capital city 662,728 households
were counted living in 628,984 housing units, which results in an average of 4.1 persons to a
household. The city's total land area is 527 KM2 and density 5,165.1/km2 with annual
growth rate of 3.8%.
According to the 2007 national census, 98.64% of the housing units of Addis Ababa had
access to safe drinking water, while 14.9% had flush toilets, 70.7% pit toilets (both ventilated
and unventilated), and 14.3% had no toilet facilities. Values for other reported common
indicators of the standard of living for Addis Ababa as of 2005 include the following: 0.1%
of the inhabitants fall into the lowest wealth quintile; adult literacy for men is 93.6% and for
women 79.95%, the highest in the nation for both sexes; and the civic infant mortality rate is
45 infant deaths per 1,000 live births, which is less than the nationwide average of 77; at least
half of these deaths occurred in the infants’ first month of life.
Addis Ababa has the status of both a city and a state. It is where the African Union and its
predecessor the OAU are based. It also hosts the headquarters of the United Nations
Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) and numerous other continental and
international organizations. Addis Ababa is therefore often referred to as "the political capital
of Africa" due to its historical, diplomatic and political significance for the continent. The
city is populated by people from different regions of Ethiopia – the country has as many as
Yeka sub-city is one of Addis Ababa administration which is located north east part of the
city. The total area of the sub city is 85.98 KM square and 368,418 people live (AAC, 2017).
Urban expansion to the periphery has cause displacement, dislocation and dispossession of
the rural farming community in periphery. The study was based largely on house hold heads
who were dislocated and those who obtained compensation in cash and housing plot.
Therefore, the selected sample house hold heads may not adequately represent the
characteristics of all farmers affected by the urban expansion.
The utilitarian view perceives land displacement as potentially legitimate (Hannah Twoney,
2016). This view does not contradict the above drivers of land displacement, yet it justifies
them in several ways. Cite on Hannah Twoney, firstly the global food supply must account
for the world’s population growth (borras et al, 2010), secondly the state of the world’s
energy supply requires a transition away from oil and towards biofuels (borras et al, 2010),
thirdly lesser developed economies require foreign investment. As pointed out by
development induced displacement and resettlement expert (oliver-smith, 2009).
Land displaced is “taking the rural land from the holder or user for the sake of public interest
paying compensation in advance by government bodies, private investors, cooperative
societies or other bodies to undertake development activities by the decision of government
body vested with power” (ANRSRLAU, 2009).
