Bahir Dar University Institute of Land Administration

Bahir Dar University Institute of Land Administration; See details on Bahir Dar University Institute of Land Administration

The initiative of starting a B.Sc. education in Land Administration came from the Environmental Protection, Land Administration and Use Authority (EPLAUA) of the Amhara National Regional State (ANRS). EPLAUA is responsible to co-ordinate and regulate activities related to environmental protection, land administration and land use issues in ANRS.

Since 2006 Bahir Dar University staff have also attended the M.Sc. in Geodesy and Geomatics programme at KTH. In addition, KTH has trained staff from EPLAUA. Curriculum for a 4 year Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) programme in Land Administration was developed jointly by BDU, KTH and EPLAUA and the B.Sc. programme started in 2006 under the then Faculty of Law. Since November 2007 KTH has been partner in the ongoing “Establishment of the Institute of Land Administration, Bahir Dar University” project. An advisory Board of Study was formed and the first meeting was held in November 2007. The Institute of Land Administration (ILA) was established by the Senate of BDU on 25 January 2008. Dr Firew Tegegne was appointed as Director for the institute on 10 April 2008 and the Chief Technical Advisor, Mrs Benita Nordin, started her assignment on 15 April 2008.
