Abstract
This research is aimed at assessing land development and management practices and
challenges in Yeka Sub-City administration. The study assessed the problem by applying
good governance principles under the five good governance dimensions. In order to
achieve the above mentioned objectives, literature review was undertaken that includes
previous studies, various land management books and manuals. Thus with this literature
review a conceptual framework was developed and a feasible methodology has evolved.
Questionnaires, interview and document review checklists were used as research tools to
collect data. The qualitative data was analyzed using narrative explanation. The findings
of the study revealed that land development and management processes are not
transparent to the service users. Weak citizen participation in the land development and
management and unequal treatment of clients in the service provision were observed as
key problems. The study also revealed that service users were dissatisfied on the
performance of land development and management officials in their service delivery for
different needs. Finally, based on the findings of the study, recommendations were
forwarded.
