Somalia has made macroeconomic progress in recent years
however, the economy remains exposed to shocks, particularly climatic shocks. The economy has shown signs of recovery in recent years after exposure to many shocks. The country continues to work towards a political settlement and still faces high levels of insecurity and high exposure to climatic shocks. The Somalia poverty and equity assessment will focus on three deep-dive topics. The first will focus on Somali livelihoods, given its importance for sustainable poverty reduction. It will look at the type of income, type of employment, sector of employment, and household enterprises. The second deep dive topic will look at shocks, particularly climate shocks. It will focus on who is exposed, who is vulnerable, and what households typically do in response. Resilience to these shocks is essential for households to move out of poverty sustainably. The last deep dive will focus specifically on the nomadic population, given their high poverty rates, extreme poverty, and non-monetary poverty. The chapter will look at the small share of non-poor nomadic households to explore what can be applied to help the poorer nomadic households.
