Abstract
The study examined the correlation between remittance and Household poverty in the Mogadishu. The aim of this study was to establish the correlation between remittance and Household poverty in Mogadishu.The study adopted a none-experimental case studysurvey design. Using a sample 399 respondents this study applied both quantitative and qualitative approaches in the analysis of its sample. The Sample covered respondents who receive and do not receive remittance in Mogadishu capital city of Somalia. Questionnaires were the main instruments of data collection. The data collected was analysed using the statistical package for social sciences. This study found out that Remittance had a significant relationship with poverty level. It went further to predict a 21.4% variance in poverty levels. It was also noted that there was a significant welfare and poverty level difference between households who received remittance and those who do not receive remittance. The study suggests that the government of Somalia should provide for microeconomic policies, technical advice and other enabling environments that facilitate proper micro-economic utilization of remittance in accessing education, health services, improved income and employment creation to reduce poverty level and enhance improved living standards for its beneficiaries
