Gode town

Gode is the former capital of Somali Region, and as such it is a large and busy urban
settlement with well-developed infrastructure. The town centre has electricity, piped water,
a hospital, clinics and pharmacies, primary and secondary schools, and an agricultural
college. Flights to and from Jigjiga and Addis Ababa leave daily from Gode airport. The
Shabelle river runs past the town, providing water for a large-scale irrigated farming
scheme. On the other hand, Gode is also home to thousands of former pastoralists who
live in informal settlements on the outskirts of town, having migrated to Gode after losing
all their livestock during the drought of 1999/2000.
Almost all livelihood activities recorded in our household survey (n=55/64, or 86 per cent)
are practised by the 100 households interviewed in Gode town, but no single activity or
cluster of activities is dominant. This partly reflects the greater range of livelihood options
available in urban areas, in contrast to rural areas. Farming, however, is not practised by any
members of this sample, and only a few households own any animals.
On the other hand, one household in five interviewed has a member with a salaried job – a
higher proportion even than the larger town of Jigjiga. Several people are employed as
construction workers, carpenters, restaurant workers and housemaids. Four young men are
in military service. As is common in towns, the informal sector is an important source of
employment and income. There are artisans making baskets and mats, tailors, potters and a
woman who makes jewellery. Many families earn income from renting out rooms. Various
services are provided in Gode town, including henna decorators (women who paint henna
patterns on other women’s hands and feet), barbers, hairdressers, tailors, musicians,
marriage counsellors and traditional healers. Three individuals admitted to begging for a
living – no beggars were found in rural areas.
Many wealthy businessmen and businesswomen live in Gode, running wholesale or retail
stores, and trading locally or long distance. A wide range of commodities are traded by
members of our surveyed households, including clothes and shoes, livestock and livestock
products, food crops and other food stuffs (sugar, flour, etc.), “contraband” (such as
electronic goods smuggled from the Middle East) and khat. In recent years, the Government
of Ethiopia has clamped down on contraband trading (see Chapter 4), which has affected
businesspeople in Gode. Nonetheless, average incomes in our Gode sample are significantly
higher than incomes in any rural district, and second only to incomes in Jigjiga town.
