The institution has a plan to complete adjudication and registration of urban landholdings by the end of 2022 G.C and realize the establishment of secured, reliable and modern legal cadastre and integrated land information management system. However, the pace of adjudication and registration of urban landholding rights is continued to be implemented in its slow phase where it takes a lengthy time to complete the process of adjudication of rights, restriction and responsibilities on urban landholding and enormous amounts of urban landholdings remain registered under dispute register. The objective of this research is to assess the legal and institutional constraints attributing to the existing challenges in the course of adjudication and registration of urban land holding rights. Case study and document analysis research methods are used. Primary data collected using semi structured interview questions. Other primary data sources such as policy documents, laws and standards are analyzed in order to derive meaning and evaluate whether they are convenient for the urban landholding adjudication and registration. There are legal and institutional constraints existing attributing for the existing problems.
