Here Are The Poorest Countries In Africa

Africa is home to most of the poorest people in the world. They are poor, and many of them live on less than a dollar a day.

The ten poorest African countries are in West Africa, Southern Africa, the Horn of Africa, and the Indian Ocean.

There are two things that all tragedies have in common: either people or nature can be to blame.

We all hate the idea of being poor, which is why we all try so hard to avoid it. But the odds are against some people, making it almost impossible for them to get out of poverty. Africa is home to millions of people like this. We need to talk about their situation to figure out what to do next.

The World Population Review says that Africa is the poorest region on Earth. That’s really too bad! Even sadder is the fact that all of these poor countries are in sub-Saharan Africa. The problems of these countries are made worse by economic insecurity, political instability, civil wars, terrorist activity, corruption, and, of course, natural disasters.

Here are the countries in Africa that are the poorest:

Burundi ($771)

Burundi, an East African country that is rural and has a lot of people, is one of the poorest places in the world, with over 70% of the population living in poverty. The number of people who don’t have enough food to eat is alarmingly high. For example, 52 percent of children under the age of five are stunted, and malnutrition is much worse in rural places.

Burundi’s economy has suffered a lot because of the steady cycle of violence and war in the country, which has made more people poor. The government of Burundi often messes with business. Fuel is given for free, but the power that is also given for free is limited.

Somalia ($875)

Somalia is one of the poorest countries in the world. In 2012, out of 170 countries, it was one of the five least developed. The current rate of poverty is 73%. 70% of the people in Somalia are under 30 years old, and the average life span is only 55%.

Unemployment is the number of people who are out of work and still looking for work. In 2020, 13.10 percent of Somalians were out of work, which was 0.31 percent more than in 2019. In 2019, the jobless rate in Somalia was 12.79%, which was down 0.1% from 2018.

Central African Republic ($98)

The Central African Republic is still one of the poorest countries in the world, and it has a lot of problems with its people. It is near the bottom of the UN Human Development Index (188 out of 189 countries in 2020), which could be very bad for the next generation.

Poverty and war in the Central African Republic: There are many reasons why there is so much poverty in the Central African Republic. The main reason has to do with the country’s history. All over the country, people felt unsafe because of fights between religious and social groups and competition for resources.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (1,131 USD)

The Democratic Republic of the Congo has the third-largest number of poor people in the world. In 2018, it was expected that 73 percent of Congolese people, or 60 million people, would live on less than $1.90 a day, which is the worldwide poverty rate. One out of every six people in SSA lives in terrible poverty because of this.

Insecurity caused by years of war and government changes is one of the main reasons for poverty in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Poverty and youth unemployment have also led to violence. The valuable metals from the Congo are used to make things like phones, lightbulbs, computers, and jewellery…..See_More
