Addis Abeba has suspended property and title transfers in selected subdistricts across six districts to address land ownership issues and implement a modern cadastre system, according to the city’s Landholding Registration & Information Agency. The agency told Fortune that the ongoing landholding registration and certification process will focus on specific subdistricts in Yeka, Lemi Kura, Aqaqi Qaliti, Nefas Silk Lafto, Bole, and Kolfe Keranio districts over the next five months. Property transfers in these areas will remain suspended until the end of April 2025. The Agency announced that landowners can submit applications for ownership certification from December 29, 2024, for a 10-day period. According to the agency, 54pc of Addis Abeba’s total area has undergone landholding certification, with efforts underway to finish registration in 136 subdistricts by the end of the fiscal year.
