Ethiopia has implemented one of the low-cost land certification programs since 2003. The first-time land certification was fast, high in its scope, and less costly. After the whole process of measurement and registration, the certificate was offered to the landholders. Despite the ongoing debates on the land policy, there is yet some evidence revealing positive impacts on tenure security, productivity, and promoting gender equity. It provides a high level of tenure security by reducing land redistribution fears, protecting peasant eviction, lowering encroachment, and reducing conflicts. It increased productivity and reversed the pro-longed women’s inferior land-right position. To overcome the limitation of the first phase, a second-time certificate with geo-referenced plot maps was issued. In conclusion, information updating on land certification, in-depth analysis of cost and impact are highly recommended, and thereby policy recommendations should be present to policymakers to devise a vibrant and functional land tenure system in Ethiopia.
