Djibouti: CREG and UNFPA Launch the Process of Developing the National Demographic Dividend Profile

The Regional Consortium for Research in Generational Economy (CREG), in collaboration with UNFPA Djibouti, the Djibouti National Institute of Statistics (INSTAD), and sectoral ministries, is providing technical support to the country in developing its National Demographic Dividend Profile.

The first mission, scheduled to take place in person in Djibouti from November 1 to 4, 2026, will mark the launch of this process. It is part of an initiative to assess the country’s demographic and economic potential, based on the National Transfer Accounts (NTA) methodology.

This initial phase will pave the way for a series of activities focused on analyzing Djibouti’s demographic and economic dynamics, developing NTA profiles, and identifying key levers to maximize the benefits of the demographic dividend. Particular attention will also be given to gender, migration, and climate change.

The process will include online and in-person training sessions, as well as technical work leading to the preparation of a national report on the demographic dividend. These activities will help strengthen national capacities and provide evidence to inform public policies aimed at promoting Djibouti’s economic and social development.
