Facilitating connections to translate Statistics into Solutions. #Data analytics is the future, and the future is NOW!

Trying to analyze a situation without enough data was like looking at a photograph of a ball in flight and trying to gauge its direction. Is it going up,down, sideways? Is it about to collide with a baseball bat? With enough datapoints, you could predict just about anything #Data

For Africa, where many economies are fuel‑import dependent, this means weaker currencies, higher pump prices, and inflation piling on top of already strained household budgets. The East African Community (EAC) is particularly exposed.

Rising oil costs will ripple through transport, food, and manufacturing, intensifying inflationary pressures. Somalia, with its fragile economy and high reliance on imports, could see sharp spikes in consumer prices in the coming days.

The escalating Iran war is already shaking global oil markets. Brent crude surged past $80 a barrel within days of renewed conflict, raising fears of prolonged disruption in the Strait of Hormuz — a route that carries about 20% of global supply.

Somalis are Somalis—not Black, not Arab, and not White. They are race to be admired, proud, nomads, entrepreneurs and hardworking. #Somalis 💪🏽

Finally, 👇the court has declared the 2019 census report unconstitutional. Court orders fresh census in Mandera, Wajir, Garissa. KNBS asked to revert to 2009 census data.

[Hashim Sheikh Abdinoor @HashimAbdinoor]

Comparing the 2009 and 2019 Kenya census data from the North Eastern especially in Mandera county reflects inconsistencies. #Census2019Results

SNBS is pleased to announce the release of the much-awaited Gross Domestic Product (GDP) report for 2023, providing an insightful overview of Somalia's economic performance amidst global challenges.

The 2023 GDP report reveals Somalia's robust economic resilience, with GDP reaching USD 10.969 billion, marking a significant 4.2% increase from 2.7% in 2022. This growth was driven by thriving sectors such as construction, investment, and resilient livestock exports, underpinning Somalia's capacity to seize emerging opportunities.

Despite global uncertainties, Somalia maintains stable international trade dynamics, prominently supported by resilient livestock exports.

Equally, household consumption saw a notable 4.5% rise, reflecting growing domestic demand, while enhanced government revenue collection and prudent fiscal policies improved critical investments in infrastructure, education, and healthcare.

Looking ahead, Somalia remains well-positioned to enhance global competitiveness through sustainable development initiatives and inclusive growth strategies. For a comprehensive review of the report and detailed insights, please visit the SNBS website at https://t.co/4H1OmHnhIC

This report not only reaffirms Somalia's dynamic resilience but also underscores commitment to sustainable development and inclusive economic growth @SomaliPM @MoPIED_Somalia @MoF_Somalia @CentralBankSo @SharmarkeFarah @abdirahm_omar

Demographic data is very vital for all development planning in a country, because it provides detailed bench-mark data on all population characteristics. Despite the importance of census data, data consistency and credibility has been questioned in developing countries.

[Hashim Sheikh Abdinoor @HashimAbdinoor]

Kenya has carried out eight censuses; two pre and six post-independence censuses. These successful censuses have been held consistently every 10 years until the most recent of 2019, which recorded 47.6 million people. #Census2019Results
