| dc.description.abstract | Land certification is the current issue and the government implemented vastly to ensure landholders tenure security at national level. However, there is little knowledge about the contribution of land certification for SLM (Sustainable Land Management), credit access and the perception of farmers about the security of land rights in the study area. Therefore, the initiation of this study was evaluate perception about contribution of land certification among landholders, analyze the contribution of land certification on sustainable land management practices and investigates effectiveness of land certification for access to credit and credit use for appropriate LMP. Primary data for the study were collected through household questionnaires, observation, focus group discussions and key informant interviews. Data were both quantitative and qualitative and analyzed by descriptive statistics such as tables, percentages, chi-square, and thematic. The result has shown that LC (Land Certification) had a strong association with land management practices and credit access. Land certification played a significant role to involve themselves in land management activities than before. However, the research found out most farmers was carrying out one season of land management. The practice of land management has been increased due to land certification but, the quality of land management practices has not considered the sustainability issue. LIFT (Land Investment for Transformation) project played greater in supporting and monitoring to farmers to apply environmental sustainable agricultural input and those farmers support by the project were more aware about environmental sustainable and they use credit effectively. Also, this research found that farmers were taking credit for offfarm activities (fattening. Milk production and poultry production. Due to this, they gave less priority to investing in the land like agricultural input purchased, irrigation activity as well as land management practices. This research recommended that the woreda environmental office should support and monitor the activity of SLM practices done by farmers. | en_US |
