| Summary: | This note presents aspects of welfare of
urban and rural poor in Djibouti. With only 15 percent of
Djibouti's population, rural areas host about 45
percent of the country's poor. As such, these areas
require a comprehensive strategy that invests in
infrastructure and service provision and better connection
to cities. The urban poor are more numerous and concentrated
in the Balbala community of the capital. A policy tool kit
to promote high quality of public services, better education
and employment opportunities for urban poor would be critical. |
