| Summary: | The Ethiopia Urban Land Supply and
Affordable Housing Study (EULSAH) responds to the request
fromthe Government of Ethiopia (GoE), Ministry of Urban
Development and Construction to carry outfollow-on technical
assistance to the Ethiopia Urbanization Review (EUR) jointly
published by theWorld Bank and the GoE in 2015. The EUR
calls for a robust institutional framework to support
efficient and sustainable land management and housing
delivery, urban governance, and municipal finance, taking
into account Ethiopia’s constitutionally entrenched system
of land tenure.EULSAH aims to inform policy decisions on how
to address the growing demand for urban land andaffordable
housing in the context of rapid urbanization in Ethiopia. It
supports two interrelatedcomponents, Urban Land and Housing.
The Urban Land component has two subcomponents. The first
subcomponent “Urban Land Cadaster” was successfully
delivered to the GoE in May 2017. The second subcomponent
“Urban Land Supply” along with the “Housing” component are
featured in the EULSAH.The Ethiopia Urban Land Supply and
Affordable Housing Study is a product of close
collaborationbetween the World Bank and the GoE. The Terms
of Reference were developed based on technicaldiscussions
and numerous consultation activities with national and local
government officials,including discussions with the Prime
Minister and senior Cabinet members, state enterprise
leaders,private sector actors and development partners.
These were undertaken during the finalization of the EUR and
a subsequent scoping mission in October 2015. The inception
report was presented to the GoE Task Force in June 2017;
this was followed by two video conferences with the task
force to discuss preliminary findings from urban land supply
and affordable housing respectively. A technical
consultation workshop on the key findings and preliminary
recommendations on policy changes and institutional reforms
was held with national and urban local governments, the
private sector, academics, and development partners in
November 2018. A high-level national consultation workshop
was held in Addis Ababa with key stakeholders for the final
draft reports on May 10, 2019 to seek further feedback on
the revised reports with a focus on how to move the policy
recommendation forward. |
