The World Bank released new data, and the extreme poverty estimate increased by 125 million.

My colleagues Joe Hasell, Bertha Rohenkohl, & Pablo Arriagada investigated why this happened.

I very much recommend it if you are interested in global poverty:

🌍 In 2022, over half of Somalis lived below the national poverty line—nearly 3 in 4 nomadic individuals were impoverished. Rapid urbanization means 2/3 of the poor now live in cities.

Our paper "Is Mobile Money Changing Rural Africa? Evidence from a Field Experiment" is now in print in the Review of Economics and Statistics!

Main finding? Mobile money increased out-migration from rural areas and reduced agricultural investment.

The Economist published an article today about my team's research on measuring social ties between men and women. The article had cool original analyses, including showing that the rate of cross-gender ties among close (top 5) friends is predicted by an index of sexism (a 🧵)

Proud moment for Somalia! 🇸🇴
We’ve just launched our first district-level poverty report, new national representative inflation data, & Phase II of our stats project; meaning better data, better decisions, hence better future for every Somali. Grateful to our partners @WorldBank

[Somalia National Bureau of Statistics @NBS_Somalia]

A Historic Milestone for Somalia!
SNBS launches three groundbreaking statistical achievements: District-Level Poverty Estimates, Phase II of the Somalia Statistics Project and Somalia’s first harmonized National Consumer Price Index (CPI).

The high-level event was attended by the Minister of Planning, Minister of Labour and SNBS DG. Also in attendance were Federal State Minister for Fisheries & Blue Economy, Galmudug Planning Minister, World Bank Task Team Leader, SNBS departmental directors, other government officials, UN Agencies (FAO, UNFPA), academia, private sector and media.

These tools mark a major leap in Somalia’s journey toward evidence-based policy, poverty reduction, and economic transformation, aligned with the National Transformation Plan (NTP 2025–2029) and Vision 2060.

“With the launch of these important statistical publications, we bring Somalia’s development into sharper focus — one district, one family, one future at a time.”
— Dr. Abdisalam Mohamed, Director General, SNBS
