Abstract
In 2022, the nomadic population, comprising just over 10 percent of the Somali population, faced the highest levels of monetary, non-monetary, and extreme poverty, along with the greatest inequality. Nomadic households have the highest poverty rates and often lack sufficient livestock to escape poverty. Livestock ownership among the poorer nomadic households appears to have been worst affected by the recent drought. Nomadic households can be supported by policies that promote herd accumulation and improve their access to key inputs.

Publication Mongolia : Livestock Sector Study(Washington, DC, 2009-09-15)The purpose of this synthesis report is to try and draw together recent work on the sector to understand in greater detail what is driving the sector, and how these drivers and trends may play out in the future and what options are available in response. This is not a strategy for the sector, but rather an attempt to provide some clarity to the development of the sector as a basis for stimulating discussion to inform strategy and specifically, to inform government policy and expenditure in the sector. The report draws upon five working papers (WPs) that were commissioned by the Ministry of Food and Agriculture in 2006 and 2007 . These papers tried to fill gaps in current knowledge of drivers in the sector rather than provide a comprehensive study of the sector, and their findings have been supplemented by other work in the sector.Publication Afghanistan Poverty Status Update(Washington, DC, 2015-10)Afghanistan’s per capita Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew at an average annual rate of 6.9 percent during that period. In contrast, in 2007-08, 36 percent of Afghans were poor, and four years later, still, more than one in three Afghans did not have the buying power to satisfy their basic food and non-food needs. Economic growth in Afghanistan, therefore, is not in and of itself enough to reduce poverty. To achieve poverty reduction, economic growth needs to be far more inclusive for everyone, regardless of their circumstances. While economic growth is necessary to reduce poverty, the poor must actually benefit from that growth. Poverty reduction hinges on the ability of the poorest to earn a good living; accumulate, control, and protect assets; and access quality services and opportunities. For Afghanistan, this means: strengthening agriculture, investing in human development, managing and mitigating risk.Publication Potential Impact of Climate Change on Resilience and Livelihoods in Mixed Crop-Livestock Systems in East Africa(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2013-02-01)Climate-induced livelihood transitions in the agricultural systems of Africa are increasingly likely. A recent study by Jones and Thornton (2009) points to the possibility of such climate-induced livelihood transitions in the mixed crop-livestock rainfed arid-semiarid systems of Africa. These mixed systems cover over one million square kilometers of farmland in West Africa, Eastern Africa, and Southeastern Africa. Their characteristically scant rainfall usually causes crop failure in one out of every six growing seasons and is thus already marginal for crop production. Under many projected climate futures, these systems will become drier and even more marginal for crop production. This will greatly increase the risk of cropping and among the several possible coping and adaptation mechanisms, (e.g. totally abandoning farming, diversification of income-generating activities such as migration and off-farm employment, etc.) agro-pastoralists may alter the relative emphasis that they currently place on the crop and livestock components of the farming system in favor of livestock. There has been only limited analysis on what such climate induced transitions might look like, but it is clear that the implications could be profound in relation to social, environmental, economic and political effects at local and national levels. This study sought to identify areas in the mixed crop-livestock systems in arid and semi-arid Africa where climate change could compel currently sedentary farmers to abandon cropping and to turn to nomadic pastoralism as a livelihood strategy, using East Africa as a case study. While the current study found no direct evidence for the hypothesized extensification across semiarid areas in East Africa, it is clear that systems are in transition with associated changes not necessarily climate driven but linked to broader socio-economic trends. Not surprisingly, many of the households in the piloted sites face a wide array of problems including poverty, food insecurity and inadequate diets which will be aggravated by the looming risks posed by climate change.Publication OED Review of the Poverty Reduction Strategy Process : Mauritania Case Study(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2004-07-06)This report analyzes the experience of Mauritania with the Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS) process. The focus of the report is on evaluating the performance of the World Bank in supporting the PRSP initiative, not on appraising the authorities policies. The report covers the formulation and implementation of the PRSP and encompasses the two PRSP progress reports which have been completed since the initiative was launched in Mauritania. The report is structured as follows: section B describes the country context including, political and economic background, the poverty profile, and key constraints for development. Section C addresses the PRS Process including preparation of the document and the consistency of the process with the underlying principles of the initiative. Section D assesses the World Bank s support to the process. Finally, section E summarizes the main points of the assessment and attempts to draw lessons of more general applicability.Publication Minding the Stock : Bringing Public Policy to Bear on Livestock Sector Development(World Bank, 2009-01-01)Driven by population growth, urbanization, and increased income, the demand for animal-source food products in developing countries is rapidly increasing. Livestock, which already constitutes 30 percent of the agricultural Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the developing world, and about 40 percent of the global agricultural GDP, is one of the fastest-growing subsectors in agriculture. Growing demand presents real opportunities for economic growth and poverty reduction in rural areas. It could directly benefit the one billion poor people who depend on livestock as a source of income and subsistence. Livestock also provides traction for about 50 percent of the world's farmers and is a source of organic fertilizer for most of the world's croplands, converting waste products into inputs in the production of high-value food. For these reasons, the sector has a critical role to play in making agriculture sustainable, in reducing poverty, and in contributing to economic growth. This report presents an analysis of the issues related to market failures in the livestock sector, and an examination of policy and investment options that can be used to overcome them. Its principal intended audience includes policy makers and development practitioners. Much of the analysis will focus on identifying the needs of the public sector as it sets out to redress the imbalance between public and private investment and to begin establishing an enabling environment in which private sector livestock development can take place in a way that is consistent with public health, poverty reduction, and environmental sustainability. While the report focuses on developing countries, much of its treatment pertains to industrialized countries as well, particularly with respect to issues of crosscutting global significance, such as greenhouse gas emissions and emerging highly infectious diseases.

Publication Dualistic Nature of Employment in Somalia(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2025-04-08)Somalia’s labor market displays some unique traits for its level of income. Somalia has very low labor force participation, likely driven by the limited viability of agricultural and low non-agricultural labor demand. There is also evidence of a dual labor market: i) a small pool of good jobs, typically accessed by the better educated, and ii) a larger, but still limited, pool of low-quality, low-pay jobs that individuals do out of necessity. These better jobs are often within the government, international organizations, or NGOs. Policies should focus on increasing human capital and overall labor demand.Publication Lesotho Economic Update(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2025-04-08)Following a decade of low and unstable growth, Lesotho has a unique opportunity to build a new foundation for robust and inclusive development. As real GDP growth pivoted from a 6.3 percent expansion in 2012 to an 8.2 percent contraction in 2020, per capita income levels declined sharply, and Lesotho’s hopes of improving living standards slipped away. However, the country now has a chance to return to a convergence path, as the second phase of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project (LHWP-II), increased revenue transfers from the Southern African Customs Union (SACU), and the renegotiation of water royalties from South Africa are expected to drive economic activity and provide resources for much-needed social spending and infrastructure investment. Seizing this opportunity will require effective prioritization of policies and investments, sound public financial management, and the restoration of sufficient fiscal buffers (savings) to counter negative shocks. This economic update highlights the critical role of fiscal policy in mitigating macroeconomic volatility and fostering sustainable and inclusive growth. It stresses the need for effective fiscal and public investment management reforms to address Lesotho’s economic challenges and unlock opportunities for development. Aligning fiscal policies with the goal of inclusive growth is essential to ensure that benefits reach all segments of society.Publication Togo Country Climate and Development Report(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2025-04-14)Togo has achieved significant development gains over the last decade, but progress is still held back by slow structural transformation and a large urban-rural divide. Togo was able to achieve relatively rapid and stable growth over the last 10 years, averaging about 5.2 percent (2.8 percent in per capita terms), which was supported by economic reforms as well as rising public and private investment rates. However, limited headway was achieved in terms of structural transformation (i.e., the process of shifting jobs towards higher productivity activities and sectors), thus holding back opportunities for faster, more inclusive, and more sustainable growth. While the expansion of port activities in Lomé and the development of agro-business value chains, manufacturing and logistics services have helped the country’s economic development in recent years, limited gains in agriculture productivity, slow progress with human capital accumulation, and remaining barriers to private investment have prevented faster development. As a result, the national poverty rate has been on downward trends over the last decade, reaching 43.8 percent in 2021, but with significant and widening gaps between the capital Lomé and rural communities, particularly in the North where factors of fragility and insecurity have escalated in recent years. These factors have contributed to inward migration pressures in other areas of the country. A climate-conscious development strategy requires building on synergies and complementarities between sectoral policies in order to simultaneously boost productivity, job creation and the resilience of vulnerable populations. For instance, scaling up climate-smart and nature-based solutions in agriculture supports productivity, food security, and carbon sequestration, providing a strong foundation for sustainable rural livelihoods that limits rural-to-urban migration pressures. This complements efforts to ensure sustainable urban and coastal development while mitigating risks from coastal erosion and flooding. Ensuring universal access to clean and reliable energy is also critical to power agriculture, to attract new manufacturing and higher value-added services in urban centers, and to support digital solutions for a low-carbon economy. Similarly, a more resilient and greener transport sector can help lower emissions while strengthening local, regional and global value chains, and help develop secondary cities that reduce the urban pressures under the Grand Lome area. Efforts to enhance human capital, especially among the youth, are also critical to support more and better paying jobs by matching skills with the demand of emerging sectors and technologies, including those needed for Togo’s green transition. A higher level of human capital is in turn conducive to social progress, stronger social cohesion and resilience, and reduced fertility rate, all enablers of structural transformation. Finally, robust climate governance and improved access to climate-related financing can help mobilize critical investments across these sectors while fostering transparency and accountability for impactful delivery. If implemented correctly, priority reforms and investments could help turn threats from climate change into opportunities for faster development.Publication Infrastructure Monitor 2024(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2025-04-28)The Infrastructure Monitor report covers global trends in private investment in infrastructure to inform investors, policy-makers and other practitioners. The objective is to deliver global insights on global infrastructure trends across key topics such as investment volumes, performance, blended finance, and ESG drivers, facilitating the monitoring of private infrastructure investment and its performance. These insights aim to support policymakers, investors, and other stakeholders in developing sustainable, resilient, and inclusive infrastructure while fostering effective partnerships with the private sector. Acknowledging the significant infrastructure data gap — with notable variations in coverage, quality across countries and income groups, and differences in the availability of regional breakdowns — our approach leverages the best available aggregated data from leading infrastructure databases to generate market insights while also providing context on its limitations. 2025 will be the fifth version of the report, the first under the World Bank.Publication Reshaping the Agrifood Sector for Healthier Diets(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2025-04-07)This Knowledge Note presents two sets of analytical work to further our understanding of the links between public support in the agrifood sector and healthy diets. While the analytical work here is mostly suggestive, it paves the way for more in-depth research to unpack the relationship of agrifood support with healthy diets. The first set of analytics uses cross-country estimations to assess the potential correlation of agrifood public support with healthy diets for an average country. The second set of analytics uses within-country estimations to assess the correlation of agrifood public support with healthy diets in the context of a particular country. The overall principles that underpin these analyses are: (1) that not all types of agrifood public support are the same, (2) that not all types of food commodities are the same, (3) that the impacts of a given type of support can vary depending on the type of food commodity, and (4) that the impacts of various policy options on healthy diets will vary across countries. These analytics help to foster more dialogue and a deeper exploration of the links between agrifood support and healthy diets.
