This report is the final output of the study Promoting well-functioning land markets for sustainable growth in Ethiopian Cities. The aim of the study is to understand the land related challenges (including access to land) generated by rapid urban growth in the urban and peri-urban areas of Ethiopia’s cities and has involved case study research in Addis Ababa, Bahir Dar, and Assosa; three very different cities. This report presents the final Recommendations and Guidelines based on the case study findings and wider consultation activities, including a workshop involving stakeholders from the three cities. The report develops evidence-based policy recommendations that can yield real benefits and can be adopted and implemented through guidelines for future programme development. The approach adopted in the report is as follows • Section 1 sets out the background and context, aims of the study, the approach and introduces the concept of land markets with a demand/supply approach. • Section 2 sets out the key issues arising from the case studies and recommendations arising. • Section 3 sets out a theory of change and guidelines for how the recommendations can be implemented. The aim of the theory of change and the guidelines is to provide practical guidelines that can be implemented by policy makers at the federal and policy level, as well as practical measures that can be implemented at the city level.
