Conclusion= Child and youth poverty is substantially lower in NE regions. You are twice as likely to be poor in Mogadishu or Somaliland than Puntland. We have a long way to go but it shows that our ministers have been working well given their limited resources. We can do better and need mNot only is per capita income in the Northeast higher, the distribution is wider. The bottom 20% in the Northeast are as well off as the bottom 40% in the country.
What is interesting is that the Northeast designation includes South Mudug, I am sure the results would be more surprising if they did not include South Mudug under the Northeast.ore transparency I hope the ministers utilize the huge diaspora community which are willing to help.
Bari is highly urbanized, it has almost 500k urban people out of 700k. The remaining 200k will urbanize soon enough once all of Bari becomes completly desertified.
Rural people in the NE who receive no remittances have a lower rate of poverty than urbanites who do receive remittances in other regions.
In comparison to Hargeisa, Bosasso residents enjoy a higher standard of living if we compare average daily incomes. While urban residents of Hargeisa earn, on average, about $1 a day, Bosasso residents earn over $4. Naturally, with respect to Bosasso, IDPs earnings are far lower. Most IDP households in Bosasso earn a daily wage of a little over a $1, which is more than 50percent, more than most returnee/IDP families living in and around Hargeisa.

P.S qabiilism and hate aside, i congratulate puntities on their effort. Its astounding to see that a state like puntland can have equal poverty levels to a country like Ethiopia, with the latter having billipns of dollars funnelled into it every year.
