Abstract:
Land plays a pivotal role in the life of the people of Ethiopia and the development of
its economy. Sound land administration helps people to secure property rights for
their homes. An efficient land market encourages investment and economic growth.
The Government of Ethiopia (GOE) gives high priority to the sustainable use and
management of land and its proper governance in the nation’s agenda for food
security, poverty reduction, and accelerated economic growth to achieve the status of
a middle-income country. The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of
efficient land administration on economic growth of Addis Ababa City
Administration. This study uses a quantitative and qualitative research approach with
a cross-sectional study design. A total of 266 legitimate questionnaires were used for
this study from 295 employees who were selected randomly from six sub cities of
Addis Ababa city and 29 questions were not returned and not used. SPSS version 23
had been used for data entry and analysis. Both descriptive and inferential statistics
were used for data analysis. For this purpose, frequency tables, percentages, means
and standard deviations were computed and substantively interpreted. Inferential
statistics like Pearson correlation coefficient (r) was used to determine the degree of
relationships exist between independent and dependent variable. The results indicate
that there are positive and statistically significant relationship between efficient land
administration and institutional structure with economic growth. Multiple
regressions were used to analyses the impact of independent variables on dependent
variable. The findings demonstrated that land preparation and supply, land
valuation, institutional capacity and human resource capacity had positive and
statistically significant impact on economic growth of Addis Ababa city
