Poorest countries in africa

PakaJimmy, Tanzania tangu mwaka 2008 haipo hata kwenye 20 masikini zaidi duniani. Hivi sasa nafikiri ni nchi ya 27 kwa umaskini ikipishana na Kenya kwa rank kama nne hivi. Kenya ya 31. Inawezekana ka uchumi ketu kwa sasa ni promising.

Mkaa Mweupe, nafikiri hizi ranking zinatofautiana kutokana na mtathimini. Lakini kwa mfano ukiangalia global finance, wenyewe wameirank Tanzania ya 28 kwa umasikini na si ya 23. Cheki hapa: The poorest countries in the world | Global Finance
Ila kikubwa cha kujivunia ni kwamba hatumo katika nchi 20 maskini zaidi duniani.

Watanzania bana.

Kwa vile wengi Wetu wanaishi na wamezoea maisha ya uongo na uchakachuaji, basi kila kitu kwao wanaambatanisha na fikra za uchakachuaji na uongo. Wanasiasa wetu ndiyo wanawajaza Watanzania hizi fikra na kuwaaminisha kama Tanzania ni nchi maskini ya kutupwa katika Afrika.

Haya basi, orodha nyingine hii hapa kutoka wikipedia.

20 Poorest Countries In The World 2012

Posted date: May 27, 2012 | 63 Comments
The rankings below were published in Wikipedia from International Monetary Funds 2011 gross domestic product per capita (GDP per capita) report and reflecting the countries with the lowest purchasing power parity (PPP). Since 1970, there has been encouraging news emerging from developing countries. According to the UNs 2010 Human Development Report, life expectancy in developing countries has increased from 59 years in 1970 to 70 years in 2010. School enrollment climbed from 55% to 70% of all primary and secondary school-age children. Also, in the last forty years, per capita GDP doubled to more than ten thousand U.S. dollars. Poor countries are catching up with the wealthier countries, but not all countries are making fast progress. For example, some countries in Sub-Sahara Africa have little or no progress, largely due to the HIV epidemic and civil wars.
The 20 Poorest Countries:
#1. Congo, Democratic Republic of the

GDP Per Capita: $348 (As of 2011)
Not to be mixed with the neighboring Republic of Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo has become the poorest country in the world as of 2010. Democratic Republic of the Congo was known as Zaire until 1997. Congo is the largest country in the world that has French as an official language the population of D.R Congo is about six million larger than the population of France (71 million people in D.R Congo vs 65 million in France). The Second Congo War beginning in 1998 has devastated the country. The war that involves at least 7 foreign armies is the deadliest conflict in the world since World War II by 2008 the Second Congo War and its aftermath had killed 5.4 million people.
#2. Liberia

GDP Per Capita: $456 (As of 2011)

These slaves made up the elite of the country and they established a government that closely resembled that of the United States of America. In 1980 the president of Liberia was overthrown and a period of instability and civil war followed. After the killings of hundreds of thousands, a 2003 peace deal was led to democratic elections in 2005. Today, Liberia is recovering from the lingering effects of the civil war and related economic dislocation, with about 85% of the population lives below $1 a day.
#3. Zimbabwe

GDP Per Capita: $487 (As of 2011)
The government of Zimbabwe released its largest bank note 100 trillion dollar bill issued on January 2009. In addition to the economic problems the life expectancy of Zimbabwe is the lowest in the world 37 years for men and just 34 for women. One of the problems for the early deaths are the 20.1% of the population with HIV and AIDS. The health issues arent seeing any improvement.
#4. Burundi

GDP Per Capita: $615 (As of 2011)
Burundi is known for its tribal and civil wars. Burundi have never really had any peaceful time between the everlasting civil wars as a result its the fourth poorest country.

Approximately 80% of Burundians live in poverty and according to the World Food Programme 57% of children under 5 years suffer from chronic malnutrition; 93% of Burundis exports revenues come from selling coffee.
#5. Eritrea

GDP Per Capita: $735 (As of 2011)
Affected by the Italian colonizers of the 19th century. Eritreas advantage of controlling the sea route through the Suez Canal made the italians to colonized it just a year after the opening of the canal in 1869 and same reason the British conquered it in 1941. The present Eritreas economic conditions have not improved and real gross domestic product growth averaged 1.2 percent between 2005 and 2008; in 2009 GDP growth was estimated at 2.0 percent.
#6. Central African Republic

GDP Per Capita: $768 (As of 2011)

Diamonds constitute the most important export of the Central Africans Republic, accounting for 4055% of export revenues. The 2010 UNDP Human Development Report ranks CAR near the bottom of its Human Development Index (159th out of 162 countries) and unlikely to meet its MDG goals. The proportion of Central Africans living on $1 a day has decreased slightly to 62% but it needs to be half of that in order to reach the 2015 goal.
#7. Niger

GDP Per Capita: $771 (As of 2011)
With over 80% of its land is covered by the giant desert of Sahara, Niger has a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita in Parity Purchasing Power (PPP) terms of US$771 as of 2011, one of the lowest in Africa.

#8. Sierra Leone

GDP Per Capita: $849 (As of 2011)

It is among the top diamond producing nations in the world, and mineral exports remain the main foreign currency earner and also among the largest producers of titanium and bauxite, and a major producer of gold. Despite this natural wealth, 70% of its people live in poverty. If you have seen the movie Blood Diamond you should know that it is based on Sierra Leone.
#9. Malawi

GDP Per Capita: $860 (As of 2011)
Malawi has one of the lowest per capita incomes in the world, with 53% (2004) living under the poverty line.

In December 2007, the US granted Malawi eligibility status to receive financial support within the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) initiative. Agriculture accounts for 35% of GDP, industry for 19% and services for the remaining 46%.

#10. Togo

GDP Per Capita: $899 (As of 2011)

Approximately one half of the population lives below the international poverty line of US$1.25 a day.
#11. Madagascar

GDP Per Capita: $934 (As of 2011)

Tourism dropped more than 50% in 2009 compared with the previous year, and many investors are wary of entering the uncertain investment environment.
#12. Afghanistan

GDP Per Capita: $956 (As of 2011)
Afghanistan is probably the only poorest country in the world that doesnt need any introduction. Due to the decades of war and nearly complete lack of foreign investment, the nationsGDP per capita stands at $956. Its unemployment rate is 35% and 42 % of the population live on less than $1 a day. As tribal warfare and internecine feuding has been one of their chief occupations since time immemorial. History has never seen Afghanistan lose a war. They might be one of the poorest but they know how to fight. Instead of a traditional army they simply resist with small counter attacks that eventually tire out the enemy.
#13. Guinea

GDP Per Capita: $1,083 (As of 2011)
Guinea also has diamonds, gold, and other metals. The country has great potential for hydroelectric power. Bauxite and alumina are currently the only major exports. Guineas poorly developed infrastructure and rampant corruption continue to present obstacles to large-scale investment projects. Agriculture employs 80% of the nations labor force. Under French rule, and at the beginning of independence, Guinea was a major exporter of bananas, pineapples, coffee, peanuts, and palm oil. From independence until the presidential election of 2010, Guinea was governed by a number of autocratic rulers, which has contributed to making Guinea one of the poorest countries in the world.
#14. Mozambique

GDP Per Capita: $1,085 (As of 2011)

Ethiopias economy is based on agriculture, which accounts for 41% of GDP and 85% of total employment. Agricultural productivity remains low, the sector suffers from poor cultivation practices and frequent drought.
#16. Mali

GDP Per Capita: $1,128 (As of 2011)
With 50% of the population living below the international poverty line of US$1.25 a day, Mali is one of the poorest countries in the world. Some of its natural resources are gold, uranium, livestock, and salt. Mali remains dependent on foreign aid. Economic activity is largely confined to the riverine area irrigated by the Niger River and about 65% of its land area is desert or semidesert. Mali experienced economic growth of about 5% per year between 1996-2010. The government in 2011 completed an IMF extended credit facility program that has helped the economy grow, diversify, and attract foreign investment.
#17. Guinea-Bissau

GDP Per Capita: $1,144 (As of 2011)
Guinea-Bissaus legal economy depends mainly on farming and fishing, but trafficking in narcotics is probably the most lucrative trade.

Hakuna cha kujivunia hapo ukitathmini vizuri namna gani wamefikia kwenye matokeo hayo. Tanzania bado ni maskini wa kutupwa!
Hii pato la mtu (Per capita) linatokana na GNP (pato la taifa) Eti kwa vile taifa fulani linaingiza bilioni 23 ka mwaka (Tanzania, kutokana na migodi mitatu mikubwa), sasa hizo fedha ndiyo wanazigawanya kwa raia kwa kiasi sawa sawa! Hivi ni vigezo vya kipambafu!
Ndiyo maana unaona Equatoria Guinea inaongoza Afrika kwa vile ina watu kidogo na mafuta mengi. Ila asilimia 60 ya Waequatoria wanaishi kwa chini ya dola 2 kwa siku (sawa na Bongo)!
