Somali literacy is higher than i expected. The literacy rate as a percentage of the population is higher than that of ethiopia in 2015. The energy stats is good too but need to get better. Progress.

Over half of households (52.2 percent) were unable to afford healthy and nutritious
food in the month preceding the survey. Over a third of households (34.9 percent) experienced going hungry, and more than a quarter (27.1 percent) went without eating for a whole day at least once.
The prevalence of “moderate or severe” food insecurity according to the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES) is 44.3 percent in the overall population and 62.9 percent in the nomadic population.
Furthermore, 39.8 percent of nomads face “severe” food insecurity, compared with 23.0 and 21.8 percent of the urban and rural population respectively.
The three top types of shocks most reported by households over the 24 months preceding the survey are large rises in food prices (53.3 percent), drought or severe water shortage (47.3 percent), and the death of livestock (14.6 percent).
As a result of these shocks, almost half
of affected households have lost income (44.8 percent), 1 in 10 (10.9 percent) have incurred a loss of assets and a third (33.2 percent) have lost both income and assets. Affected urban and rural households are likely to have incurred losses in income only (41.9 percent urban, 47.2 percent rural), while the majority of affected nomadic households have incurred losses in both income and assets (53.7 percent) (Figure 9.3).
The most common response to shocks
was prayer, adopted by 37.4 percent of affected households, followed by spending cash savings (21.0 percent), doing nothing (15.7 percent), reducing food consumption (12.5 percent), receiving help from family/ friends (8.6 percent), and reducing non-food expenditures (6.1 percent).
