The level of economy in countries around the globe is not even. It is somewhere very high and somewhere very low. GDP, literacy rate and employment rate are several parameters of a country to determine the level of its economy. According to a report of the United Nations, hunger causes the death of about 25,000 people everyday. Unfortunately, the number of children is greater than that of adults. Consider several facts of income disparity between rich and poor nations to measure the cleavage between the haves and the haves not. The combined income of the world’s richest individuals leaves far behind that of the poorest 416 million. 982 million out of 4.8 billion people in the developing world live on $1 a day. Another 2.5 billion live on below $2 a day. 40% of the poorest population made up 5% of world income while 20% of the richest population made up 75% of global income in 2005.
A country with a GDP per capita of $765 dollars or less is defined as a low-income or poor country. You may wonder why poor countries remain poor. Some interrelated factors like geography, industrialization, colonialism, education, resources, infrastructure, overpopulation, investment, government and debt make poor countries remain the heavy foot of poverty.
Look into the fragile features of the ten poorest countries of the world.
10. Ethiopia (GDP – per capita: $700)
“The Sadomo region of the Ethiopia is known for producing the best coffee second to Harar….Make Trade Fair!” – mcandrea
Ethiopia ranks 170 out of 177 the poorest countries on the Human Development Index (UNDP HDI 2006). Half of its GDP depends on agricultural activity. The agricultural sector suffers lowdown because of poor cultivation techniques and frequent drought. 50% of its population 74.7 million bears the burden of poverty and 80% lives on bread line. 47% of males and 31% of females are literate. Some parts of Ethiopia run a high risk of hepatitis A, hepatitis E, typhoid fever, malaria, rabies, meningococcal meningitis and schistosomiasis.
09. Niger (GDP – per capita: $700)
Niger with a population of 12.5 million is one of the ten poorest countries in the world. Drought is a common natural calamity in Niger. It often undergoes a phase of severe food crisis. 63% of its total population lives on below $1 a day. Adult literacy rate is as low as 15%. Life expectancy spans up to 46 years. A number of people die of hepatitis A, diarrhea, malaria, meningococcal meningitis and typhoid fever.
“Escaping from poverty”
08. Central African Republic (GDP – per capita: $700)
“Rebel in northern Central African Republic”
The Central African Republic ranks 171 as a poor country. Agriculture is the backbone of its unstable economy. Life expectancy of its meager population 4.3 ranges from 43.46 to 43.62 years. 13.5% of its population is at risk of AIDS.

07. Guinea-Bissau (GDP – per capita: $600)
“Africa, Guinea-Bissau, Bijene, January 2005. Mbemba Djaló, 13 years young, earns some extra cash after school, running his little shop at the veranda of an abandoned colonial house. Photography by Ernst Schade” – ernst schade
The rank of Guinea Bissau as a poor country is 172. Farming and fishing are the only pillars of its economy. The level of income is not even in all parts of the country. About 10% of its adult population is at risk of HIV.
06. Union of the Comoros (GDP – per capita: $600)
Population growth and unemployment at a high rate are responsible for the poor economy of Union of the Comoros. Population density at a rate of 1000 per square km in agriculture zones may result in an environmental crisis. Agricultural contribution to its GDP is 40%. The low level of education has raised the level of labor force. Economy mainly depends on foreign grants.
05. Republic of Somalia (GDP – per capita: $600)
“Sixteen million people in eastern Africa are in need of emergency food aid and the threat of starvation is severe, according to FAO’s latest report on the Food Supply Situation and Crop Prospects in sub-Saharan Africa.” – ☠ ● qυєєη σƒ яσ¢к ● ☠
Agriculture is the base of the economy of Republic of Somalia in the Horn of Africa. Nomads and semi-nomads comprise a major part of the population. Rearing livestock is the primary source of livelihood for them. The small agricultural industry contributes 10% to its GDP.
“Mogadishu. October 2004. View of Mogadishu north. Mogadishu is the place where effects of the conflict are more striking. There are arround 400.000 internally displaced persons. Access to health structures is quite impossible for the danger to circulate in the streets where combats are on-going and all type infrastructures have disapeared: water, sanitation, schools… The absence of state during more than 13 years has made impossible any investment in public structures. It is estimated that around 72% of Somalia’s population lacks access to basic healthcare services and the healthcare system is in ruins.” – abdisalla
04. The Solomon Islands (GDP – per capita: $600)
“Solomon Islands Tsunami — Minister whose church was washed away”
The Solomon Islands is a country in Melanesia. Fishing holds its domestic economy. Above 75% of the labor class, is involved in fishing. Timber was the main product for export until 1998. Palm oil and copra are important cash crops for export. The Solomon Islands are rich in mineral resources like zinc, lead, gold and nickel.
03. Republic of Zimbabwe (GDP – per capita: $500)
“The expression on these guys faces says a million things, weak from hunger and too poor to own shoes or have a shirt to wear. This is all because of the tyrant they call a president.
A beautiful country ruined because of one mans greed. ” – Mr Sean
Republic of Zimbabwe is located between the Limpopo and Zambezi rivers in the south of Africa. Its economy suffers a slowdown due to supply shortage, soaring inflation and foreign exchange shortage. Zimbabwe’s involvement in the Democratic Republic of the Congo left its economy fragile. The worst consequence of the knelt-down economy is unemployment that is as high as 80%.
“March, 5, 2008. The Zimbabwean currency tumbled to a record 25 million dollars for a single US dollar”
02. Republic of Liberia (GDP – per capita: $500)
“MONROVIA, LIBERIA – NOVEMBER 12, 2006 : Young Liberian boy standing on Randal street in Monrovia looks through a hole in a garbage filled car that has been turned on its side and salvaged fro spare parts. ( Photo by: Christopher Herwig )” – herwigphoto.com
Republic of Liberia on the west coast of Africa is one of the ten poorest economies across the globe. A decline in the export of commodities, the flight of many investors from the country, the unjust exploitation of the country’s diamond resource, looting and war profiteering during the civil war in 1990 brought the economy of the country to its knees. External debt of the country is more than its GDP.
“Liberia: Government child soldiers,Ganta; on the back of their truck is an anti-aircraft gun. © Teun Voeten, 2003.
Liberia’s decade-long civil war was fuelled by weapons imported in to the country in violation of a UN arms embargo. Shipments over three months in 2002 from a Serbian security company, for example, brought in enough bullets to kill the entire population of Liberia.” – controlarms
01. Republic of the Congo (GDP – per capita: $300)
“This picture shows what Kinshasa is: full of contradictions. The beauty of the sunlight, nature, happy people contrasts with the filth on the streets, disorganisation, poverty… These two persons seem to stand there, in the middle of all that. Can they push the country forward… Are they part of a generation that will one day live in a modern Democratic Republic of Congo, freed of all suffering and pain?” – fredogaza
Republic of the Congo in Central Africa is the last at the bottom of the economic heaps. Depreciation of Franc Zone currencies, incredibly high levels of inflation in 1994, eruption of the civil war, and continuation of armed conflict and slumping oil price in 1998 broke down the economy of the country.

It is easy to take your life for granted and not think about others, because they are out of sight out of mind. This is a poor way to go through life though, because there are a lot of people who are struggling just to survive, while we are choosing where to go eat tonight. Seeing the countries on this list really makes you think…

We are all concerned with the miseries of people who live somewhere far away from where we are, but seldom think about the people in need who live next-door.. Sometimes it’s just a matter of looking around to find someone we can help. A little bit of selfless support in our everyday lives could make this world a better place:)

There is nothing special in seeing poor Ethiopia, Niger, Liberia or Somalia in the list of the 10 poorest countries of the world. They are countries that have been very poor for decades due to a combination of several complex human and natural factors and they probably will remain as poor as they have always been. But seeing a country like Zimbabwe in an infamous third place of such a list is actually quite shocking since 15-20 years ago that nation was a hope of prosperity for the rest of Africa and now it’s completely devastated by that repulsive monster called Robert Mugabe.

The situation in the Republic of the Congo is even WORST! Many Pygmies live as slaves to Bantu masters. The country is deeply stratified between these two major ethnic groups. The Pygmy slaves belong from birth to their Bantu masters in a bond that the Bantus call a “time-honored tradition”. And yes, we live in 2009.

I plan on helping these poor people one day. I plan on becoming a general practioner and helping those who need it most, people in these hellish places who look forward to nothing but a mere droppling of food. How can people survive like this? It’s unberable to see these pictures. After I graduate from med school, I will put an end to world hunger and health-related problems. With God’s help, anything is possible. It’s not a dream, it’s a plan…

Just one person cannot possibly put an end to world hunger and health-related problems. One graduate from med school will not make a big difference to all the people suffering in these countries. But I believe if more people thought the way you did and did what they could to help, then and many then, the world might see an end to hunger and health-related problems in these poor countries. This is because for most people it is a dream not a plan. More people have to actually do something, rather then sit at home and say that they are going to do something.

Increasing aid and market access for poor countries makes sense but will not do that much good. Wealthy nations should also push other measures that could be far more rewarding, such as giving the poor more control over economic policy, financing new development-friendly technologies, and opening labor markets.

We’re so focused on our economy and our well being that we can’t open up our eyes and see that we live like royalty here. These people need help and we shoud focus more attention on starving, dying children than making sure GM or Ford stays in business (10 million dollar bailout? Give me a break and send that money to Africa).

I guess the only way forward to reduce(not eliminate) this suffering is to educate the people,teach them something that will keep them occupied,find something productive for them to do.An idle mind is the devil's workshop and thus all the killings and divisions amongst themselves.They have been deprived of a better life by their so-called leaders/presidents who have no clue what so ever what it means to be a leader of the people.
The other aspect which i find very suspicious is why no one is able to control the flow of weapons in to these poor countries.
Some problems can only be solved by those who are affected and who really feel the pain and it is only the people of these troubled countries who can remedy their situation by realising that they are hurting themselves and their future generation.

Thank god sierra leone isn't up there; at least they're doing well now.
It's still really sad about all these countries though. Also, of the 20 poorest countries in the World, 16 have been ravaged by major wars, so there is obviously a correlation between the two factors. I am 14, yet I can stiil feel the hurt and suffering of these people, and how selfish people won't do anything to help them, it's sick and shows a lack of morals.

An awakening to God will save nations. It is God who gives us power to gain wealth and this wealth were intended to help spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. God hears prayers, so lets lift these countries up in intercessory prayers. People will be delivered from bondage, poverty, slavery and all the devil has stolen.
My comment is not open for comments. Just get on your knees and lift your hands to the Lord in intercession. BE A Doer, Not just a hearer.

God? Really? God is going to help these people? I don't believe that is true. Every single religious person can pray all they want and it will not make a difference in the poverty levels of the countries listed above. How can people honestly believe that? All the devil has Stolen? Is that the same Devil talking snake type creature in the sacred garden when that Dumbass made out of dirt, mud, and sticks ate an Apple? Religion is not the answer for anything; it's a neurological disorder. What these people need is education.

You must really have a heart of stone to write such a thing. You have no feelings and feel no pain and hurt for the lost and suffering. I only pray that you have an encounter with Jesus, so that he may soften your heart….and then your heart will break like HIS does for the people that He created and loves.

These are countries that need more than just a general practioner or health and food aid, these countries need a re structure of government and generations of people need to be extradited from these countries. These are countries who are dying for a fresh start? why cant the united nations give these countries a fresh start? All these countries have extremely bright people that if given the chance can run a country to prosperity. It is the old people of africa that made it the way it is today, they are the same ones keeping it the way it is for decades now.

About what Martin said… As an individual from Ethiopia thats resides in the US, i would have to reject that opinion. Ethiopia has made significant progress with an influx of Ethiopians who left the country in the past as they return back to invest in the country. Which as a result has brought change to some extent, to the country. But as an African, the overriding factor that puts these countries on this list and all the other unmentioned African countries that suffer these same problems is due to corruption, greed and a leader's desire to be in power for as long as possible…
However, I am not rejecting the fact that climatic issues and poverty devastate almost 95
%-98% of an African countries population. But it is do the simple fact that leaders upon being elected regard their moral integrity and chose to utilize the respective nations resources as they feel… They totally forget the matter at hand which is hopefully to see their country better which as humans from every part of the world hope to see. And due to this fact Africa will not make progress in general, unless this vicious cycle is discontinued. Anyway Im done,,,,
P.S. Hey, There are plenty of homeless people in the US and around the world and in Pakistan *coughing* (Rubab) where people are poor as hell… So take it easy on Africa…. lol

i believe that al the leaders of the world should stop arguing about war and such and think about the poor people in these third world countries and instead of spending money on military they should spend it on making the world a better place for everyone from the people who live in the slums of mumbai to the people who live in the mansions of hollywood.
secondly, the key to making these places become strong economy wise is too create better education for the younger generation and more employment for the older generation like maybe a police force to help the terroism and medical supervisors for the sick

I feel very bad to see that most of the poorest countries in the world are in Africa, my continent. the easiest way out of this poverty trap that we are today can only be solved, if we can genuinely democratized Africa. With leaders like Robert Mugabe at the helm of affairs in Africa, am Afraid we can not extricate ourselves from this poverty trap.

Even if we don’t have the government to help the people, but we stile have each other. Don’t wait the government change our lives. Be participate each problem we face to solve it. Think how can contribute the community even you don’t have enough money.

The biggest crime would be to allow these countries to continue to govern themselves.
The've shown that they just cant do it themselves.

It makes me so Sad & wonder why our leaders are still wasting our resources instead of reducing the level of poverty on our mother continent. We have alot of educated Africans in this world but are we doing to help ourselves. A country which relies on handouts cannot develop as every grant which comes has got string of conditions attached to it. Lets educate the masses so that our generation can one day look back and say we have made a diference. Even if this happens before we reach forty or 100 what matters is that we need to take Africa out of this misery. we have got the resource and yet we cant beat hunger & poverty. God Bless Africa and It's people.

this may not be what people like wasan and gago want to hear but its the truth and that's what matters sending 3 dollars a month isn't going to do anything but give you something to put your nose up like your better than someone else. I lived in my chevy corsica for 9 months while i was unemployed, but now i have a job and an apartment and I try to help people that were in my position, that's how you help, not by giving money to a company that probably keeps 70 percent of it and spends the rest on old rice for the people. your own country is in trouble. stop giving money to other countries.

They do not feel bad because they are poor. All the people in their places are poor. They will not think "why am I too poor compare to others?" They are happy now even though they are the poorest in the world. Look at the picture in Republic of Liberia, they are smiling but holding rifle guns.. they do not actually know what they are doing right at the moment. we can not blame them for their behaviours for example; sexual tings(AIDS), drugs…etc.
Through this texts and pictures, we really need to be aware that we are very happy and probably lucky.

the best way to get rid of poverty is to have economic reforms and have free trade with the rich countries such as china is doing. Unfortuately this won't happen until the BRIC nations and other nations have hit first world status, and their standard of living rises and manufactoring become expensive, only then business will move their factories to poorer nations such as the one in africa. Unfortuately only then will people will look to african nation as the next superpowers and then their citizen will be pulled out of poverty.

Vietnam lies on the eastern seaboard of the Indochinese peninsula. It borders Chine in the north. Laos and Cambodia in the west, and looks out on the East Sea (ロールケーキ) in the east and south.

I believe in God but wholly disappointed in people saying things like its God’s will or its because of what God/god these people worship. I think its disgusting, that people can peddle God but not get off their behinds to help. Stop excusing your inactivity by blaming it on God or say you are praying. Remember Faith without Action is meaningless. Help, do something.

It is so sad t see this and that its all happening in Africa, one would really think that the rest of the world would really try their best to help out these countries, I think that if all the wealthy people, movie stars and politicians just put in a couple of $'s I'm sure that this will help relieve some of the pressure of them suffering.
This is really a fantastic site, and I really enjoy coming here and seeing what new posts there are.

yeah… it is sad to say that these 10 countries are suffering poverty. Rather, its better to pray to them that they will overcome the trials and circumstances they facing. No one of us ever wanted to be like them bearing teething troubles……please help praying..
