摘要

Land administration is a proper tool to identify the resources of a country and to document physical and legaludproperties connected to it. Land administration constitutes a basic requirement for land governanceudprocesses, like land management or land use planning (Mattsson and Mansberger, 2017). Therefore,uddevelopment work in numerous countries of the south often includes the setup of a land administrationudsystem. During the last 20 years, the World Bank, for example, financed a large number of projects related toudthe implementation of land administration systems in Africa, in Asia, and in South-Eastern Europe.udHowever, experience showed that the beneficiaries of land administration systems did not always meet toudcombat poverty. Due to the security of land use, also agro-industrial companies rent land, which oftenudcommon land or land used by nomads. This “land grabbing” is an upcoming phenomenon that is increasinglyudendangering the life of underprivileged groups. Raising awareness for the problem is a significant part ofuddealing with the situation. However, a change can only happen, if the people making the decisions anduddesigning the processes are aware of the problem and if they try to find alternative approaches avoiding landudgrabbing. Thus, the challenges of land administration have to be included into the education of experts.udThe paper discusses challenges connected to the implementation of land administration systems inuddeveloping countries with a focus to the situation in Africa. Afterwards the authors discuss practicaludexperience gained from a capacity-building project in Ethiopia.
