The 1997 Amhara Land Redistribution Program

The 1997 Amhara Land Redistribution is the recent land redistribution implemented in one of the regional states. It was very controversial and politically motivated land redistribution. I studied the process and the socio-economic consequences of the land redistribution in general. I also examined issues like transparency, accountability, participation, justice and the reactions of the farmers during the redistribution process. This thesis research critically evaluated the effects of land redistribution policy.
