| dc.description.abstract | Ethiopia is one of the countries of sub-Saharan Africa which most seriously threatened by land degradation. So addressing this problem should be given priority at all level. The aims of this study were to assess the current land management system of Nono woreda, by finding out the way land user manage the land and the interaction between actors of land management system. Finally to generate information on the general land management practice of the woreda using Framework for Evaluation of Sustainable Land Management (FESLM). Data for the study were collected through key informant interviews, and formal questionnaire survey. The formal household survey was administered to a total of 270 households that were randomly selected from three villages using random number table. The qualitative information was summarized while quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS version 20. The results showed that at administrative level the plan and management of the woreda’s land is based on national policy which fulfills the requirement of FESLM. The institutional arrangements for land are fairly well defined. However, there is high frequency of overlapping and conflicting roles and responsibilities between institutions of the woreda. At land user level farmers use different type of land management practices. The most commonly used is application of manure, crop residues, crop rotation, grass bunds, stone bunds and soil bunds. Results also reveal that family size, education, access to extension service, livestock ownership and land and access to credit and market positively and significantly affected management of land in a sustainable way. In contrast, availability of nonfarm activity, increment of age of the household and tenure insecurity has negatively impacted. The finding suggests that, government should have to readjust the roles and responsibilities of institutions and future endeavors should focus on intensifying efforts at integrating more young school leavers into agricultural production, improvement in farm income, tenure security, delivery of extension and credit service and increasing a chance of access to market in order to manage land in a sustainable way. Key words: Land Management, Sustainable Land Management, Land, Framework for Evaluation of Sustainable Land Management, Institutional Framework. | en_US |
