Ethiopia is undergoing unregulated expansion of settlement area with increasing competition for land between various stakeholders. This project aims to develop integrated land use plans in five selected development zones in accordance with international human rights standards. The focus is on providing a framework for integrated land use planning at national and regional level while ensuring the participation of opportunities of disadvantaged groups (women, other vulnerable groups). The consortium will be responsible for implementing output 2 and 3 of the GIZ PILUP program.

Project Objective: The institutional and regulatory framework for integrated land use planning at national level and in selected regions has been improved in line with international human rights standards.

Output 1: The regulatory capacities of national and regional authorities for integrated land use planning in line with international human rights standards have been strengthened.

Output 2: The capacities of public authorities and other stakeholders to apply planning procedures in line with international human rights standards have been strengthened.

Output 3: The training and further education opportunities for professionals in integrated land use planning at various professional levels have been improved.
