PREFACE
The Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation (MOPIC) has the honour to present the
2006 edition of Puntland Facts and Figures. This book is the second publication of an annual
serial of Statistics, which will serve as a main general statistical reference for the Puntland State
of Somalia. Given the relatively short time that Puntland has existed and the critical
socioeconomic and political situation, required statistics have not been collated and complied
mainly due to lack of adequate secondary data as well as limited resources with which to carry
out intended surveys to collect necessary primary data.
However, this book covers various important aspects of economic, social and industrial life. For
instance: population, climate, social services (education, health), agricultural production,
communication, marine production and revenue. The Puntland Facts and Figures will be updated
annually and the data of missing sectors incorporated as it becomes available. The Ministry of
Planning and International Cooperation welcomes comments and suggestions from users of this
book. We express our thanks and gratitude to the United Nations Development Programme
(UNDP) Somalia and the World Bank who sponsored and assisted in the preparation of this
booklet under the Somalia Watching Brief (SWB) Programme.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The history of the northeastern region of Somalia has since mid-1998 been referred to as the
Puntland State of Somalia. This region has over many years been dominated by negative
historical, political and socio-economic events that have occurred in the last century. Although
pre-colonial Somalia society did have a national government with modern structures and clearly
defined international borders, the northeast region had traditional structures of governments
dating from the early years of the 19th century, namely: the sultanate of Majerteen (1901–1927)
whose territory included the current regions of Bari and Nugal, the sultanate of Mudug/Hobyo
(1885–1925) and the sultanate of eastern Sanag (1896–1925). These sultanates are still
relatively under-developed and far from assuming a modern status in terms of political and state
management systems. They had administrative and military structures, which safeguarded
security, social welfare and political stability until these were disrupted by powerful colonial
powers: the Italians in the first two sultanates and the British in the third one. Trade and
commercial relations existed between the sultanates and the Indian sub-continent and Arabian
Gulf states. For instance, Advalorem taxation systems, export of livestock, animal and agro-
forestry products and import of consumer goods thrived in the sultanate of Majerteen during the
second half of the 19th century and first quarter of the 20th century. The Italian and British
conquest of the sultanate in (1923 –1927) suppressed the peoples’ resistance and destroyed all
political, economic and commercial structures. The Italian fascist authorities were more
repressive than the British as reflected by the most choking economic policies they applied to
these regions. For instance, import-export trade and all the commercial transactions with above
mentioned traditional markets were suspended and forcibly replaced with Italian trade companies
which imported Consumer goods from Italy and exported salt, frankincense, hides, skin and
agricultural cash crops (banana, cotton) to Italy through Mogadishu. The suspension of trade
markets and political structures of the former sultanates by the colonial authorities had a
devastating effect on the livelihood security, famine coping mechanism and employment/income
earning opportunities of the northeastern communities. As a consequence, pastoralists,
merchants and fishermen from these regions had to immigrate to the southern regions in order to
seek for employment and trading opportunities. Furthermore, the sultans of Majerteen and
Mudug, their families, relations and key collaborators such as the traditional elders were forcibly
deported by the Italians to Mogadishu. The sultan of eastern Sanag was exiled to the Seychelles
Island by the British authorities. The deportation and exile of the sultans, the compulsory
conscription of more than 25,000 pastoralists (Italo-Ethiopian war of 1935-36) and destruction of
economic, trade and political structures were all aimed on the one hand to prevent or repress
internal resistance and rebellion and on the other hand to deplete and weaken the manpower
resources of the conquered regions. The successive administrations that ruled the country in the
20th century: (British and Italian colonial authorities (mid 1920s-1960) and Somali governments
(1960-1990) did not allocate any tangible development programmes to the northeastern regions.
Therefore, the current regions of the Puntland State of Somalia had particularly suffered from
colonial authorities neglect and the post-independence centralized Somali governments lack of
interest in this arid and semi-arid land, where people derived their livelihood and sustenance
mainly from a volatile pastoral economy in harsh environment, sustaining a mere survival based
lifestyle.

1.2. PUNTLAND STATE OF SOMALIA
The Puntland State of Somalia was established in August 1998 after a decision made by the
traditional and political leaders, following the failure of several national reconciliation efforts.
Originally, the administration derived its legitimacy from a series of locally sponsored conferences
in which traditional council of elders (Isimada) played an important role. As stipulated in Article 1
of the Transitional Constitution, Puntland is a part of an anticipated Federal State of Somalia. It
is striving for the unity of the Somali people and the creation of a Somali government based on a
federal system. Similarly as stated in Article 3 of the Transitional Constitution, the Puntland
State consists of the following six regions:
1. Bari with 7 districts;
2. Nugal with 5 districts;
3. Mudug with 4 districts
4. Sanag with 6 districts
5. Sool with 5 districts
6. Ayn with 3 districts
7. Karkar with 5 districts
1.3. TRENDS OF POLITICAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Up until it was affected by the recently resolved internal conflict following a peace accord reached
on 17th May 2003, the State of Puntland had shown some degree of initiative to step up the slow
and hesitant development of governance structures and socio-economic reconstruction without
the benefit of much international assistance.
2. GEOGRAPHY AND CLIMATE
2.1. LOCATION
Puntland State is geographically located in the northeastern portion of Somalia. It borders with
Northwest regions in the west, Gulf of Aden in the north, Indian Ocean in the southeast, Central
regions in the south and Ethiopia in the southwest.
2.2. AREA
Total area of the State of Puntland is 212,510 km2 (roughly one-third of Somalia’s geographical
area).
2.3. CLIMATE
The State of Puntland is semi arid. The country has a warm climate and average daily
temperatures range from 27ºC to 37ºC. This favours pastoralism as the most effective use of land
in most parts of the State. The most valuable pastureland includes the Hawd region in the high
plateau of the west of Mudug and Sool regions and into Ethiopia and the low Nugal valley. In
contrast, it is only along the high mountain ranges of Bari that mild temperatures are experienced.
In all other parts, the State generally endures tropical desert heat.
4
Rainfall is variable and sparse with no one area receiving more than 400mm of rain annually.
Therefore, nomads rely primarily on wells as a water source rather than surface water. There are
four main seasons dictated by shifts in the wind patterns. Pastoral and agricultural life revolves
around these seasons.
These are:
• Jilal from January to March, the harshest dry season of the year;
• Gu is the main rainy season from April to June;
• Xagaa from July to September is the second dry season;
• Deyr is shortest and less reliable rainy season, lasting from October to December.
3. ADMINISTRATIVE SUB-DIVISION
3.1. STRUCTURE OF THE STATE
The structure of Puntland State consists of the Judiciary, Legislative (House of Representatives)
and the Executive (the President and his nominated council of Ministries).
3.2. CAPITAL
The capital of the Puntland State of Somalia is Garowe, with an estimated population of about
50,000.
3.3. OTHER MAJOR TOWNS
Other major towns are Bosaso, Galkacyo, Las Anod, Buhodle,Baran and Gardo.
3.4. MAJOR PORT
The major port of Puntland State of Somalia is Bosaso port.

4. POPULATION
The population of Puntland state is estimated at 3.9 millions of which 52%
Nomads (last estimation of 2006)
4.1. VITAL STATISTICS

The population growth rate of Puntland is currently very high due to the influx of people from war-
torn southern Somalia and from neighboring countries. Currently, 30% of Puntlanders live in the
fast growing towns of Bosaso, Gardo, Garowe, and Galkacyo. Approximately 70% of the
population is below the age of 30.
4.2. POPULATION DENSITY

The population density in the Puntland State of Somalia is estimated at about 18 persons per
2
Km .
5. RELIGION
Islam is the main religion of Puntland. Virtually all Puntlanders are Muslims.
6. LANGUAGES
The official languages are Somali and Arabic. English and Italian are also widely spoken in
Puntland.

7. LIVESTOCK
The Livestock sector dominates the economy of the Puntland regions. The livestock products not
only contribute to the livelihood of the nomads but also are substantial portion of the daily food
intake of the population living in rural and urban areas. The economy of Puntland is largely
dependent on livestock exports, which contribute to approximately 80% of foreign exchange
earnings, 40% of the GDP and 60% of employment opportunities. Despite the economic
importance of the sector, pastoralists survive in very difficult and fragile conditions characterised
by the prevailing arid and semi-arid environment. The usual seasonal migratory patterns of
nomadic life are often determined by prolonged dry seasons and recurrent droughts which occur
once every 5 years. This causes wells and water points to dry up eventually forcing nomads and
their livestock to migrate longer distances in life-threatening situations. All the four species of
livestock traditionally herded by Somali nomads; sheep, goats, camels, and cattle are found in
Puntland. No census has been carried out to determine livestock population in Somalia from 1988
up to the present. Despite the lack of data, it is possible to estimate current figures by analysing
previous figures and trends. Based on these previous growth rates it is reasonable to assume
that during the 10 years between 1988 and 1998 livestock population in the area registered an
increase relative to that recorded during the preceding years, consequently, livestock is estimated
to have increased annually in number close to: 2.1% in sheep, 1.2% in goats, 0.7% in camel and
1.0% in cattle.

8. FISHERY
The Somali coastline is 3,300 km long. The proportion attributable to the State of Puntland is
approximately 1,300 km. It extends from Gara’ad on the Indian Ocean side to Laaso Surad on the
Gulf of Aden, the waters of which incidentally constitute the richest fish habitats in the region. The
fish population in Puntland’s coastal waters varies in diversity and density. It is known that the
prevalent species are large pelagic varieties such as yellow fin tuna, long-tail tuna, bonito,
skipjack, and Spanish mackerel, while the main commercial demersel fish are groupers,
snappers, grout and sea beam. Large populations of shark and ray are also registered.
Commercial populations of inshore spiny lobster, genus panulirus, and offshore types of Puerulus
Sewell and Puerulus Carinatus are found at depths of 150-400 metres. The abundance of marine
resources characteristic of Puntland’s coastal zones by virtue of its geographical location has also
exposed Puntland’s marine resources to susceptible risks of deterioration. These risks are
attributable to factors such as an existing marine transport network, over harvesting carried out by
illegal foreign trawlers and increased fishing efforts of the local people of Puntland. Soon after the
establishment of the Puntland State of Somalia, the Ministry of Fisheries and Ports recognised
the importance of a fishing development strategy for both the current and the future generation.
The fishing industry provides direct employment to thousands of people during the eight-month
duration of the fishing season, as well as indirect employment for people working in restaurants
and enterprises. During the fishing season, temporary settlements are created along the coastline
where women take goods for sale to earn income. The fishing industry is ranked as the second
highest income earner for the community of Puntland after livestock.

Source: MOPIC There is no export of Lobster for the months of June- August and
September and December because; June-August there are heavy winds blowing over
the sea that causes waves making it difficult to fishing. September is preparation time for
fishing. Again in December, there are heavy winds causing waves hence it is impossible
to fish.

9. CULTIVATION
Puntland is semi-arid with only seasonal rivers and untapped underground water. Most of the
territory of Puntland is best suited for pasture, and not for expansive crop production due to
general scarcity of water, formation of salt deposits on plots in the water spring areas, poor
farming systems and poor seed qualities. The existing small-scale farming systems prevail in
oases, dry river basins and places with good soil quality and low water tables. With respect to
size, these are generally small plots of land utilized for vegetable and fruit cultivation. After the
collapse of the State of Somalia, the influx of returnees increased demand for agricultural
produce in their diet. Subsequently it imposed new challenges to the dry land through increasing
and expanding the small plots or importing large quantities of produce from the inter-revering
areas of Somalia. The consumer demand eventually led to a mushrooming of farming activities.
However, increased application of modern farming techniques and harvesting of date palm trees
improved the production to satisfy demand. Plots were irrigated and the production capacity of
the land improved through employment of experienced Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) from
the south. This gave momentum to rainfall farming of sorghum and beans in certain localities (e.g
Nugal) as well as date palm trees, increasing production of dates to satisfy the demand.

10. FRANKINCENSE
In this sector the production system exists as follows:

• Families owning Plantations who cultivate and harvest on a rotating basis (Gaafeysi) and,
• Individuals who pay rent (CAWAAJI) to the families owning plantations and collect the
production for the entire season.
Two types of commercial frankincense are collected. MAYDI (Boswellia Frereania) from YAGCAR
trees and BEEYO (Bowellia Sacra) from moxor trees. MAYDI frankincense is exclusive for
Somalia, while BEEYO frankincense, varying in variety, is produced in Ethiopia (Region Five),
Eritrea, Oman and India. Other varieties exploited commercially include the opopanox, which is a
source of gum; myrrh, and Arabian Gum. Moreover, the woodland varieties of frankincense -
commiphora grow in the inland areas of Puntland. As frankincense is mainly found in isolated
areas, the mode of production is through frequent tapping of the incense trees. MAYDI is tapped
over a nine month period, peaking in October-November, whereas BEEYO is tapped twice
a year, at intervals of up to 25 days over a two to three-month period. The hot season (xagaa) is
favourable for abundant production. Regarding the yield, estimates show that approximately 40%
of the commodity is harvested, which is roughly 500 metric tonnes per year.

11. KHAT
Khat trade and consumption play an adverse role in the Somali economy in general and
particularly in Puntland. The commodity trade is a continuing business activity that generates
income and employment opportunities. However, it affects the economy through outward
remittances towards importing the khat. The khat business has an efficient informal coordination
system; the agents deal directly with the growers and wholesale traders negotiate with the other
wholesale traders from different regions. The dynamics of the business are tough and highly
competitive so much so that in many instances, groups are pushed out of the cycle as they
become bankrupt. In order to minimize the effect of competition, a system of an umbrella
association works between the wholesale traders and the agents (middlemen).

12. ECONOMY
There are four main sources of income in Puntland today namely: Livestock, Fishery, Cultivation,
Remittance and Trading. The population mainly depends, either directly or indirectly, on livestock
products for their livelihood. Remittance from the Diaspora has also played a major role in the
economy.

14. EDUCATION
The collapse of the education system in Somalia following the outbreak of has negatively
impacted the society and will continue to constrain development of regional states like Puntland
for many years to come. However, the situation improved after the establishment of Puntland
State of Somalia in 1998 and formation of the Ministry of Education. The structure of education
system which existed in Somalia before the civil was: 4 years of lower primary, 4 years of upper
primary, 4 years of secondary school and 4 years of university education. The same system is
currently implemented in Puntland The most generous estimates suggest that only between 14 –
17 % of all school age children are enrolled in school, mostly in the early grades.

15. HEALTH
The resources available to the Ministry of Health currently are limited. Its role is primarily to
coordinate the activities of the international agencies and international and local NGOs who
provide support to the health sector. The goal of the Ministry of Health is to improve the health of
the population of Puntland through increased access to health services. In order to improve
health services in urban areas that have higher population densities, the international and local
NGOs have constructed MCHs and health posts. CHWs and TBAs have also been trained on
basic health services. The main causes of morbidity and mortality in Puntland are acute infectious
diseases, chronic communicable diseases, adverse behaviours and unhealthy traditional
practices. The most common infectious diseases that contribute to the morbidity and mortality,
probably accounting for more than half the deaths for children under five years in Somalia
include: - Malaria, ARI (pneumonia) and diarrhea. Tetanus (especially neonatal) and TB are also
among the contributors of mortality in children and mothers of child bearing age. HIV/AIDS
prevalence, which is estimated at 1%, is not a major cause of morbidity and mortality at the
moment. However going by the trend in neighbouring countries, this situation might change in
future in the absence of preventive measures. Outbreaks of measles, cholera, dysentery and
meningitis pose a major threat to the public health both in morbidity and mortality.
