PROJECT CONTEXT AND DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES Context 1. Djibouti, one of the smallest countries in Africa with a population of less than a million, is also one of the poorest countries in the world. The country is akin to a city-state, with 80 percent of the population residing in and around the capital, Djibouti-Ville, with the vast majority of the people participating in the informal sector. The country lacks fresh ground water and arable land which combined with an annual long dry season that lasts 3–4 months and periodic droughts and floods, means that the country relies almost entirely on imports to meet its food requirements. 2. Approximately two fifths (41.9 percent) of the population lives in extreme poverty (of less than US$1 per day); and poverty rates are even higher in rural areas, where 9 out of 10 people live in extreme poverty, and 7 out of 10 live in relative poverty. The rural nomadic population is dependent on pastoral and agricultural activities for their livelihood, which is under threat due to the degradation of natural resources from overgrazing. A severe drought in 2012, further intensified vulnerability and poverty, and left 20 percent of the Djibouti-Ville population and 75 percent of the rural population exposed to severe and moderate food insecurity. Despite concerted efforts, in 2012 (the most current data available during project preparation), Djibouti ranked 164 out of 187 countries in human development. Malnutrition was prevalent throughout the country: 29.6 percent of children under the age of 5 years were underweight, 29.7 percent were chronically malnourished, and 17.8 percent were acutely malnourished. 3. The typical household was poor, with a single earner participating in the informal economy. The country also had a young population, with 75 percent aged below 35 years. The overall unemployment rate in 2014 stood at 12 percent for people aged 15-64, while those aged 15-24 had an unemployment rate of 22 percent. Financial inclusion was also very low with only 12 percent of citizens having a bank account (the rate dropped to five percent for youth) and only 3 percent (15,000 people) having access to micro-finance. Low levels of education hindered labor force prospects, as the primary completion rate stood at 51 percent in 2013. Women were disadvantaged with a national literacy rate of 39.5 percent compared to 60.1 percent for men, and falling to 22 percent for rural women. About 40 percent of women participated in the labor force, most of them in small businesses in the informal sector. Household responsibilities, traditional gender roles and cultural norms, such as early marriages, hindered education and employment opportunities for women. 4. Despite these challenges, the country benefits from substantial foreign direct investment because of its geo-political positioning and the presence of American, European and Asian military bases, and from its port services for transit trade with Ethiopia. In 2012, the gross domestic product was estimated to grow at six percent per year; however, because of the lack of economic development, the country was vulnerable to fuel and food price shocks and from periodic natural disasters, such as droughts and floods. 5. To address the multi-dimensional development challenges, in 2007 the government launched the National Initiative Page 4 of 45 The World Bank Enhancing income opportunities in DJ (P148586) for Social Development and finalized its “Vision Djibouti 2035”1 in June 2014 (Report number 91695). The key objectives of the National Initiative were to reduce poverty, improve institutional capacity and access to basic services, and develop human capital. The Vision 2035 also prioritized women and youth and focused on promoting human capital to build a healthy and educated workforce. 6. At project appraisal, in 2014, provision of food rations and food subsidies were key components of the social protection system, which had good coverage of the poor. However, the analysis of the existing Social Safety Nets (SSNs), which included pensions, compensation for health care expenses, cash transfers, and tax exemptions on fuel products, determined that these SSNs had limited impact on reducing poverty and inequality due to poor targeting (the programs did not cover the majority of the lowest population quintile) and highlighted the low support provided to the beneficiaries. In addition, programs to enhance the employability and self-employment for women and youth were very limited, even though there was general acceptance by families and society for girls

    briefing paper page 1 Djibouti: Changing Influence in the Horn’s Strategic Hub David Styan Africa Programme | April 2013 | AFP BP 2013/01 Summary points zz Change in Djibouti’s economic and strategic options has been driven by four factors: the Ethiopian–Eritrean war of 1998–2000, the impact of Ethiopia’s economic transformation and growth upon trade; shifts in US strategy since 9/11, and the upsurge in piracy along the Gulf of Aden and Somali coasts. zz With the expansion of the US AFRICOM base, the reconfiguration of France’s military presence and the establishment of Japanese and other military facilities, Djibouti has become an international maritime and military laboratory where new forms of cooperation are being developed. zz Djibouti has accelerated plans for regional economic integration. Building on close ties with Ethiopia, existing port upgrades and electricity grid integration will be enhanced by the development of the northern port of Tadjourah. zz These strategic and economic shifts have yet to be matched by internal political reforms, and growth needs to be linked to strategies for job creation and a renewal of domestic political legitimacy. www.chathamhouse.org Djibouti: Changing Influence in the Horn’s Strategic Hub page 2 Djibouti 0 25 50 km 0 10 20 30 mi Red Sea National capital District capital Ras Doumeira Town, village B Airport, airstrip a b Wadis ERITREA a l- M International boundary a n d District boundary a b Main road Railway Moussa Ali ETHIOPIA OBOCK N11 N11 To Elidar Balho Obock N14 TADJOURA N11 N14 Gulf of Aden Tadjoura N9 Galafi Lac Assal Golfe de Tadjoura N1 N9 N9 Doraleh DJIBOUTI N1 Ghoubbet Arta N9 El Kharab DJIBOUTI N9 N1 DIKHIL N5 N1 N1 ALI SABIEH N5 N5 Abhe Bad N1 (Lac Abhe) Ali Sabieh DJIBOUTI Dikhil N5 To Dire Dawa SOMALIA/ ETHIOPIA SOMALILAND Source: United Nations Department of Field Support, Cartographic Section, Djibouti Map No.

  • East and Horn of Africa
    Recent Developments During 2000, the East and Horn of Africa region witnessed significant upheaval that caused new population displace- ments. At the beginning of the year, the region was hosting over 1.2 million refugees and 3.2 internally displaced persons (IDPs); by mid-year these figures had risen to roughly 1.3 mil- lion and 4.2 million respectively. The chief causes were renewed fighting between Ethiopia and Eritrea, continuing violence in southern Somalia and Sudan, and severe drought in parts of Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia. The resumption of hostilities between Ethiopia and Eritrea in May led to the internal displacement of 1.1 million persons in Eritrea alone, while thousands fled to neighbouring countries, including 95,000 to Sudan, 1,000 to Djibouti and 1,000 to Yemen. Following the signing on 18 June of a cease-fire agree- of Africa ment negotiated by the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), hostilities between Ethiopia and Eritrea ceased. A Tripartite Agreement between UNHCR and the governments of Sudan and Eritrea signed on 15 July paved the way for the return of some 25,000 Eritreans, while others returned spontaneously. According to government figures, some 600,000 IDPs also returned home, mainly to areas in the Gash-Barka and Debub zones. Most of the remaining IDPs cannot yet return to their homes and are accommodated in IDP camps and with host families. Others remain scat- East and Horn tered in mountains and valleys.

  • Djibouti, 2007
    DJIBOUTI 7 – 12 december 2007 At the end of 2007, we were a group of Swedes visiting Ethiopia and Djibouti. It was a private trip led by Eric Renman, a very keen mammal watcher, and because the main focus of this trip was mammals, and Eric knew that I am a mammal freak, I was offered to join. Because there is no report from this trip online and Djibouti is quite unknown as a mammal destination, I decided to make a short report on the Djibouti part of the trip. As I write this 2020 (during corona restrictions) I can’t remember everything and my camera equipment wasn’t very good either. Probably the situation in the country has changed a lot too. So not very up-to-date! It didn’t start very well. When it was my turn to check in for the flight to Djibouti in Addis Abeba, they just told me the plane was full. Most of the group, except for two more of us, went through. It was incredible hot and stressful and we start to plan to take a taxi to the border but suddenly we were allowed to board. After a late arrival we took a taxi to the pre-booked hotel in Djibouti Ville, just to find it was full . When our tour leader solved this problem the rest of us waited outside, and was offered by a man to buy lighters that could emit light with either Saddam Hussein or Usama Bin Laden as the motive. December 8 We got our two Land Rover Defenders in the morning, without contracts or payments, and started bird watching around the city.
