  • Somaliland's World-Leading Move Towards a Cashless Culture - the National
    26/02/2019 Somaliland's world-leading move towards a cashless culture - The National Somaliland's world-leading move towards a cashless culture A breakaway region in the Horn of Africa isn’t the obvious setting for a technological revolution Charlie Mitchell October 17, 2018 Abdul Rashid has sold sweet Somali tea on the muddy streets of Hargeisa for decades. As night falls in the capital of breakaway Somaliland and worshipers flood out of the mosque, a handful congregate around his rickety table. While he pours from a flask into paper cups, buyers type a string of numbers into mobile phones, take their tea and go on their way. A cup of Mr Rashid’s tea costs 2,000 Somaliland shillings – equivalent to $0.25 or Dh0.92 – and his customers pay almost exclusively with their mobile phones. “I never see cash,” he tells The National. Mr Rashid is not alone. Across Somaliland – which declared independence from Somalia in 1991 but is yet to gain recognition from the international community – people are turning away from cash and embracing mobile money. This makes the region, with its tiny livestock-dependent economy, a candidate for the world’s first cashless society. Abdul Rashid selling tea at his road side tea stall in Hargeisa city in Somaliland. Pawan Singh for The National “It is the most incredible service we have,” says Abdinasir Ahmed Hersi. He is the director general of Somaliland’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Co-operation, but I bump into him buying a mobile phone – using the one he already has – in the clean but soulless Deero mall in downtown Hargeisa.

  • Estimating the Economic Impact of the Ebola Epidemic
    Estimating the Economic Impact of the Ebola Epidemic: Evidence from Computable General Equilibrium Models David K. Evans, Francisco Ferreira, Hans Lofgren, Maryla Maliszewska, Mead Over and Marcio Cruz1 October 31, 2014 Abstract: Beyond the terrible toll in human lives and suffering, the Ebola epidemic which affected West Africa continues to have a measurable economic impact on several of the most economically fragile countries in the region. This paper uses two computable general equilibrium models to estimate the impact on West Africa as a whole, as well as specific impacts for the directly affected countries. Two alternative scenarios are used: a “moderate Ebola” scenario corresponding to the actual containment within the three most severely affected countries, and a “High Ebola” scenario corresponding to the damage that a slower containment in the core three countries and broader regional contagion might have brought. The paper discusses the implications for the macroeconomic resilience of the region, the distributional impacts of the epidemic within the most affected countries and the likely effect of the disease outbreak on the already hard task of fighting poverty in this region. JEL Codes: I15, C54, E17 Keywords: Ebola, Infectious Disease, Economic Growth, CGE Modeling 1 Cruz, Evans, Ferreira, Lofgren, and Maliszewska are at the World Bank. Mead Over is at the Center for Global Development. Corresponding author: David Evans, [email protected]. Acknowledgments: The authors are very grateful for inputs and comments from Makhtar Diop, John Panzer, Marcelo Giugale, Shanta Devarajan, Soji Adeyi, and James Thurlow; and for excellent research assistance from Anna Popova. 1 Section 1: Introduction Overview The 2014 outbreak of the Ebola Virus Disease 2 in West Africa 3 has taken a devastating human toll.

  • R Union Des Ministres Des Finances De La Zone Franc
    Meeting of Franc Zone Finance Ministers Paris – 5 October 2012 Press Release Under the chairmanship of Mr Pierre Moscovici, French Minister for the Economy and Finance, a meeting of the finance ministers, central bank governors and heads of regional institutions of the franc zone was held in Paris on Friday, 5 October 2012. Also in attendance was Mr Pascal Canfin, the French Minister Delegate responsible for Development. Mr Donald Kaberuka, President of the African Development Bank, and Mr Makhtar Diop, World Bank Vice President, likewise took part in the meeting. At the end of the meeting, H.E. Alassane Ouattara, President of the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire, opened a symposium titled “Regards croisés sur 40 ans de Zone franc” (“Diverse perspectives on the franc zone’s 40 years in existence”). The participants discussed the economic situation in the franc zone’s African member states and briefly reviewed the situation in the euro area. After mixed performance in 2011, growth could accelerate in 2012 to 5.5% in the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU), due to the rebond in Côte d’Ivoire. GDP should likewise increase by around 5.8% in the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC). In the Comoros, the growth rate should improve to 3%. The participants took note of the progress towards macroeconomic policy convergence achieved by the franc zone during 2011 and emphasised the need for further convergence and improvement of economic policies in a global economic environment currently marked by persistent uncertainty. The ministers, central bank governors and heads of regional institutions welcomed the detailed study carried out at their request by FERDI1 on the gains that regional economic integration of the African countries in the franc zone can be expected to deliver.

  • State-Making in Somalia and Somaliland
    The London School of Economics and Political Science STATE -MAKING IN SOMALIA AND SOMALILAND Understanding War, Nationalism and State Trajectories as Processes of Institutional and Socio-Cognitive Standardization Mogadishu ● Dominik Balthasar A thesis submitted to the Department of International Development of the London School of Economics (LSE) for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2012 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it).

Cover illustration: Map source, URL: http://tinyurl.com/97ao5ug, accessed, 15 September 2012, adapted by the author. 2 Abstract Although the conundrums of why states falter, how they are reconstituted, and under what conditions war may be constitutive of state-making have received much scholarly attention, they are still hotly debated by academics and policy analysts. Advancing a novel conceptual framework and analysing diverse Somali state trajectories between 1960 and 2010, this thesis adds to those debates both theoretically and empirically.
