【 摘 要 】

This note presents aspects of welfare ofurban and rural poor in Djibouti. With only 15 percent ofDjibouti's population, rural areas host about 45percent of the country's poor. As such, these areasrequire a comprehensive strategy that invests ininfrastructure and service provision and better connectionto cities. The urban poor are more numerous and concentratedin the Balbala community of the capital. A policy tool kitto promote high quality of public services, better educationand employment opportunities for urban poor would be critical.
