Climate change-related threats and land insecurities are increasingly impacting upon disadvantaged communities, especially women. In the context of evolving land policy discourse and priorities, intertwined land tenure, climate change, and gender equality require reference to global normative human rights and development frameworks. Human Rights treaties, the Paris Agreement, the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the New Urban Agenda, among others have strategic policy implications.

This study aimed to assess the current land data acquisition system, data sharing mechanism and major challenges in Ethiopia. A total of 26 institutions working mainly on land data collection, management, dissemination, and use were purposively selected. Data were collected from these institutions using face-to-face interviews, focus group discussions and observations. Besides, international standards were reviewed. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics and qualitative techniques.

Compulsory land acquisition is inevitable for developing countries so that they can implement projects in urban areas for the quest of sustainable urban development.

This paper examines two projects implemented in Bujumbura City through compulsory land acquisition. A desk review and checklist question have been mobilised to collect data that are source of information presented herein.
