During the launch, the Deputy Director General of SNBS expressed optimism about the report’s findings and reaffirmed the government’s commitment to leveraging this data to inform policy decisions aimed at reducing poverty and inequality. “This report offers valuable insights that will enable us to make data-driven decisions in addressing the critical challenges of poverty and inequality in Somalia.
