This Child Poverty Analysis Report applies the Multidimensional Overlapping Deprivation Analysis (MODA) framework to assess the extent and characteristics of child poverty in Somalia, drawing on data from the 2022 Somali Integrated Household Budget Survey (SIHBS). The analysis covers all children aged 0–17 years and is disaggregated by age group (0–4 and 5–17), sex, residence, and region to highlight disparities and inform targeted, child focused policymaking. Six dimensions of deprivation are examined education, water, sanitation, housing, information, and nutrition while the health and protection dimensions were excluded due to data limitations. A child is considered multidimensionally deprived when experiencing multiple deprivations simultaneously, with particular attention to three way overlaps that show how key deprivations intersect.
