Puntland has the lowest Poverty incidence of Somalia [incl. Somaliland]

[xisaabiye]

You don't need to test everyone to get statistically meaningful data. You can base it on randomized smaller samples as well.

Even so, the sample population is way to small. 4k house holds let's say on average have 5 persons, that's 20k out of population of roughly 15million( SL+Somalia). That is hardly representative. That's 0.001% that they're working with. I'd wait for more comprehensive studies before jumping the gun

I saw more beggars in Hargeisa.

Red herring

You are avoiding important questions mudane, you are here boasting about how puntland is so developed but not answering important questions that contradict your thesis

 

[waraabe]

Hargeisa is a huge city, garowe is a village compared to it

What does Puntland's government budget look like? How much of the budget goes into defense compared to other departments like health and education.

I know Somaliland puts at least 50% of their budget into it's defense and security agencies. Which is a major reason why there seems to be less focus on relieving poverty.

last time their media published their budget was 2015 and it was $60m, cant find anything after that, dont know what they are hiding :siilaanyolaugh:

Anecdotal.

Plus Hargeisa is larger than Bosaso, Garowe & Gaalkacyo combined so it's not surprising that you noticed more beggars in H-town.

@Amun The reason a lot of people have misconceptions about Puntland is because most people who are not from Puntland, know nothing about it. If you tell the average Somali that someone living in Calula has a higher income than Someone living in Afgoye, they would laugh in your face. If you go to a place like Calula, A third of men may have a "laash" or a motorized boat, that is capital and a means of transportation. How many people in Afgoye have cars?

Somalis see cities on the southern tip of Puntland like Galkacyo, or on the western edge like Garowe, Qardho and Bosaso and think that is it. Most people in Puntland live east of the main road and don't interact with the rest of Somalia for the most part.

Somalilanders and South Somalis also never visit Puntland, while Puntlanders do often visit their regions.

Divide that by population and you'll see Puntland gets way more per capita than the rest

Moryaano, which page is that on?

 

[Cotton Eyed Joe]

@XamarCade you better provide me that page cause I can't find that on the report. The idea Puntland receives more aid than Somaliland is laughable and Banadir aid is basically the SFG so if that figure is the local Banadir provincial government then it is believable.

Somaliland is getting more per capita than Puntland.

 

[merka]

Somaliland is getting more per capita than Puntland.

If you include sool and sanaag into Somaliland as it is in this survey then Puntland gets more per capita

What page is that on? I see you validated @XamarCade post I want to see it for myself.
