Situation analysis 1. Gabon has an area of 267,667 km² with a population estimated in 2003 at 1.5 million inhabitants. The population is young, with 60 per cent under 25 years of age. At present, 80 per cent of the population is urban (see Enquête gabonaise sur le suivi et l’évaluation de la pauvreté, 2005 (Gabonese survey for poverty evaluation and monitoring, 2005)) and is concentrated in the four main cities: Libreville, Port- Gentil, Owendo and Franceville. The petroleum industry alone accounts for 51.5 per cent of the gross domestic product (GDP), 64 per cent of budget revenue and 82 per cent of export earnings. 2. Despite having a per capita GDP at purchasing power parity estimated at $12,747 in 2008, one of the highest on the continent, Gabon’s social indicators are uncharacteristic, paradoxically, presenting a poverty profile similar to that of low income countries.

Situation analysis Description of the Disaster In Gabon, since the 1990 National Conference, which saw the establishment of a multi political party system, the electoral process has always been contested. In some instances, this has led to violence between security forces and supporters of parties opposing the election results. In August 2009, the results of the presidential election, led to demonstrations, destruction of property and loss of life in the cities of Libreville, Oyem and Port-Gentil. On 28 August 2016, Presidential election is planned in Gabon, which is expected to be stormy. Since 2009, the political situation in Gabon has remained volatile.
