Improving Access to Jobs for the Poor and Vulnerable in Somalia

Karamba, Wendy (2021-01)

Jobs are vital for individuals to work their way out of poverty and for promoting shared prosperity. Somalia has few formal social safety nets, and the country is steadily consolidating peace and rebuilding state institutions following decades of conflict. Putting in place a jobs strategy as well as adaptive social protection systems are key to strengthening citizen confidence in state institutions. The Federal Government of Somalia (FGS) seeks to generate economic growth to create jobs and promote economic inclusion, including opportunities for youth, the most excluded and vulnerable group in Somalia. Decent jobs are central to poverty reduction, and have far reaching implications for stability and security, empowerment, and household resilience. Central to any efforts to curb poverty is the creation of enough decent jobs to absorb workers, especially youth. Youth represent an integral part ...

Informing Durable Solutions for Internal Displacement in Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan, and Sudan : Country Case Studies

World Bank Group (2019-04-18)

Understanding forced displacement and developing effective solutions requires closing several critical gaps in the data. With forced displacement rising worldwide, the body of work on displacement is growing rapidly. Data on internally displaced persons (IDPs) are particularly problematic, as the distinction between IDPs and internal migrants are not consistent across countries, and as the presence and number of IDPs is often politicized. While efforts have been made to create standardized frameworks for collecting quantitative data on forced displacement, important data gaps persist. This study helps to close data gaps by using micro-level data to profile IDPs. The report uses micro-data, defined as individual and household-level data that is collected directly through personal interviews. Comprehensive micro-data surveys cover IDP populations in four countries in Sub Saharan Africa: ...
