1 Islamic Republic of Afghanistan Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation & Development (MRRD) NATIONAL RURAL WATER SUPPLY, SANITATION & IRRIGATION PROGRAM (Ru-WatSIP) Provincial Profile Logar GENERAL INFORMATION Geography Logar province is located to the south of Kabul and is surrounded by Nangarhar, Pakitya, Kabul, Wardak and Ghazni provinces. The province covers an area of 3,955 km. The province is divided into 7 districts. The provincial capital is Kunduz center which has a population of about 10,700 inhabitants. Population Logar has a total population of 373,100. There are 86,756 households in the province, and households on average have 6 members. page 1 of 7

2 Water and sanitation Basic hygiene provided by safe drinking water and adequate sanitation are the most effective strategies to improve the health status of the population. There is evidence that globally provision of adequate sanitation services, safe water supply, and hygiene education represents an effective health intervention that reduces the mortality caused by diarrhoeal disease by an average of 65 percent, and the related morbidity by 6 percent (WHO 001). Provision of safe, convenient and sustainable water and sanitation services will not only result in reduced morbidity and mortality (particularly under five mortality), but also reduce health costs and increase worker productivity, school attendance and overall well-being. Drinking water The National Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (NRVA) inventory of community preferences for development among male and female Shuras emphasized the importance of water supply, as they assigned it top priority. The household survey recorded that access to improved drinking water sources is available to 46 percent of the population of Afghanistan. Compared to the results of the NRVA 007- a Percentage of households with access to improved sources of drinking water, by residence; Time to reach drinking water source (all water sources), by residence Indicator Residence National Percentage of population with access to improved drinking water source Urban Rural Kuchi Time to reach drinking water source (one way, in minutes) mean time median time MDG Indicator 7.8 Proportion of the population using improved drinking water sources round this indicates a sharp increase of the share of the population with safe drinking water from 7 to 46 percent. The situation especially improved in rural areas, where the share of the population using improved sources almost doubled between and from 0 to 39 percent. If this rate of improvement is continued, the ANDS target of 61.5 percent in 00 will easily be achieved. Large differences are observed in the share with access between the urban population on the one hand (71 percent) and the rural and Kuchi populations on the other (39 and 1 percent, respectively). Similar differences exist between the provinces, with access ranging from 7 and 9 percent in Urozgan and Zabul to 67 and 78 percent in Balkh and Kabul. Close to half the population (49 percent) equivalent to 14.7 million people relies on surface water for their main source of water and 8 percent on hand pumps (an improved drinking water source). The reliance on piped water (improved source) is 9 percent overall, but with 6 percent it the most important source in urban areas a Improved sources of drinking water include: hand pump (private or public), bored wells, protected spring, piped water (private or municipal); un-improved sources include: surface water (open well, unprotected spring, kariz, river, lake, channel, pool, drainage), water tanker, bottled water. The time to reach the main source of drinking water varies significantly by residence, and especially for rural households. Overall, Afghan household members usually women and children have to walk on average six minutes to reach the nearest water point and another six minutes to walk back. This average time hides a substantial variation, as 50 percent of the households need only one minute or less and some 11 percent requires half an hour or more for a return trip. For urban households, the mean time to reach the water point is only one minute and close to 80 percent has water in or next to the dwelling. The corresponding share of rural households without travel time is half of this (39 percent) and for Kuchi only 15 percent. Improved sources of drinking water in NRVA include: hand pump (private or public), bored wells, protected spring, piped water (private or municipal); unimproved sources include: surface water (open well, unprotected spring, kariz, river,lake, channel, pool, drainage), water tanker, bottled water. page of 7

The NRVA found that 8.3 Proportion of population using an 3 percent of the population used improved sanitation facilities. Compared improved sanitation facility with NRVA , the present survey shows relative improvement up 8.3 from 5 percent, but in absolute terms the share of the population with improved sanitation remained very low. The most commonly-used sanitation facilities are a covered latrine and open pit (respectively 57 percent and 19 percent; both considered unimproved) (data not shown). Darean and open field or bush (open defecation) are used by 15 percent of the population. The situation for the urban population is considerably better, as here up to 9 percent of the population has access to improved sanitation. WHO and UNICEF recently apply a more refined definition of the quality of sanitation, by distinguishing private and shared facilities within the category of improved sanitation (WHO-UNICEF 013). Using this additional criterion, only 6 percent of the population 19 percent in urban areas, percent in rural areas and none of the Kuchi rely on the most adequate method for sanitation. Population, by use of improved sanitationa, access privacy, and by residence (in percentages) Use of improved Sanitation, access privacy Residence with access Private Shared Total Urban Rural Kuchi National a without access Private Shared Total Total Private Shared Total Improved sanitation includes flush latrine, improved latrine and covered latrine; un-improved sanitation includes open pit, darean and open defecation. 3 Improved sanitation includes flush latrine and improved latrine; un-improved sanitation includes open pit, traditional covered latrine, darean and without facilities. The NRVA did not differentiate beyond these categories and consequently could not identify types of improved sanitation currently included in the unimproved categories. The actual share of population with access to improved sanitation is expected to be higher than 8.3 percent. page 3 of 7
