Introduction The availability of statistics on development indicators is key to monitoring the impact of development interventions and progress towards implementation of the Afghanistan National Development Strategy (ANDS). The following briefs provide a summary of selected social and economic measures of individual and household wellbeing for each province of Afghanistan, and are based on the latest nationally representative household data from the National Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (NRVA) 2007/08. These provincial briefs are a joint effort of the Ministry of Economy and the World Bank, and build on the earlier collaboration in producing the Poverty Status in Afghanistan: A Profile based on National Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (NRVA 2007/08). The selection of the indicators has been based on: the analytical work from the Poverty Status report, the monitoring needs of the Ministry of Economy, and on continuing analysis to better understand the sources of sub-national differences in wellbeing. These briefs provide statistics on 39 socio-economic indicators encompassing several dimensions of wellbeing, including poverty and inequality, food security, labor market outcomes, sectoral distribution of employment, gender, education, health, and access to services and infrastructure. This compendium of key indicators aims to serve three main purposes. First, it provides a snap-shot of the development performance of each province and benchmarks it to that of other provinces and of nation as whole. This comparative perspective is provided with a view to assist policy makers and other development actors in their efforts to improve development effectiveness, particularly by providing evidence to prioritize and better target interventions at the provincial level. Second, by unbundling variations in development outcomes at the sub-national level, these provincial briefs complement and enrich the aggregate description of well being presented in the Poverty Status report. Third, these indicators are expected to provide provincial baselines to be updated by future rounds of the NRVA, in addition to serving as a reference for measures obtained from other data sources. The statistics presented in the provincial briefs highlight that development outcomes in Afghanistan vary significantly from province to province. The prevalence of poverty, for example, varies from 9 percent in province to 76 percent in ; a considerably large spread around the national average of 36 percent. School enrollment rates among children aged 6-12 are the highest in with over two thirds of the children enrolled in schools, while has one of the lowest enrollment rates with an estimated 2 percent of its children enrolled in schools. Access to key services such as electricity and safe drinking water also shows a high degree of variation across provinces. For example, 85 percent of households in have access to electricity compared to less than 4 percent in and. Also, has relatively better access to safe drinking water (56 percent of households), while,, and lag behind other provinces with less than 10 percent of their households accessing some safe source of drinking water. Similarly large provincial disparities are found in other social and economic domains including health, gender, food security, and employment. Another key theme which emerges from the provincial statistics is that the performance on different indicators vary significantly within each province. Provinces that perform well on one dimension of development are not necessarily equally well off on other dimensions. For example, province which features favorably on the indicators of poverty and inequality is among the worse off provinces in terms of school enrollment, child immunization, and access to safe drinking water. Only 4 percent of children (age 6-12) in are enrolled in schools and i
less than 1 percent of its children aged 12-23 months have had full immunization. On the contrary, which is the second poorest province in Afghanistan has one of the highest immunization rates in the country, with 82 percent of its children aged 12-23 months fully immunized. Similarly, Badakhsan the second poorest province in terms of calorie deficiency rate stands among the top performing provinces in terms of girls to boys enrollment ratio, while on other measures of development such as child immunization, literacy rate and under-employment rates, its achievements are closer to the national average. A key implication of this variation of the indicators within provinces is that it is not sufficient to focus on poverty alone (or any single indicator) to understand the developmental needs of a particular province. It is important to recognize that performing well in one dimension does not necessarily mean good performance in other dimensions. An examination of these briefs also reveals that the co-variation of the indicators across the provinces provides potentially useful policy insights. Consider for example that Badakshan and are two of the bottom five provinces in terms of the prevalence of poverty ( has the worst poverty rate overall). Poverty is an aggregate measure of food and nonfood consumption, and so it is natural to assume that it is highly correlated with low levels of food consumption. In the case of Badakshan, this is certainly true Badakshan has the second highest rate of calorie deficiency (i.e. the proportion of people consuming less than 2100 calories per day). In the case of, this assumption is inaccurate despite being the poorest province, the proportion of its population consuming less than 2100 calories per day is exactly equal to the national average. One part of the explanation to this difference can be seen from the inequality indicator. Badakshan has both a high level of poverty and the highest level of inequality. This means that the poor in Badakshan are worse off on average than the poor in, and also means that calorie deprivation is much more severe in Badakshan. As another example, consider and again, Badakshan, both of which have some of the highest poverty rates in Afghanstan. The inequality indicator though, reveals that has the lowest level of inequality in the country, while Badakshan has the highest. When designing poverty-alleviation policies a standard concern is to make sure that the benefits reach the poor and do not leak off and benefit the relatively better off individuals in the province. Or, in other words, poverty programs aim to both maximize benefit coverage to the poor, and minimize leakage of the benefits to the non poor. Because of their high rates of poverty, both Badakshan and merit particular focus for poverty-alleviation programs. But, the design of these policies should be attentive to the differences in the level of inequality. For Badakshan, the combination of the high poverty rate and the highest inequality rate means that many people in the province are poor, but there are also many people with consumption levels significantly above the poverty line, and the program design needs to be attentive to the concern of benefit leakage. In contrast, the combination in of the high poverty rate and the lowest inequality rate means that most everyone is either poor or nearly poor, and it is reasonable to expect that leakage of program benefits will be of relatively less concern than in Badakshan. These few examples above are meant not as specific policy advice, but rather as illustrative descriptions of the sort of input we hope these briefs can provide to the policy dialogue. We certainly hope that in some instances, the indicators presented in these provincial briefs can also help inform the design of specific programs. The following parts of the document are organized into two main sections. The next section presents provincial briefs for all 34 provinces, arranged in alphabetical order by province name. Each brief has provincial and the corresponding national estimates for 39 indicators. Each brief also presents graphical comparison of provincial performance vis-à-vis other provinces (as well as nation) on eight indicators including poverty rate, calorie deficiency, inequality of consumption, girls to boys ratio, literacy rate, full immunization rate, and access to safe drinking water. In each ii
figure, the vertical line marks the national average for that indicator. Similarly, in each figure, good outcomes are on top and bad outcomes are on the bottom, allowing the reader to readily identify how well a particular province is performing (as marked in orange) by how far it is from the top of the figure. All estimates except those related to area and population are based on the survey data from NRVA 2007-08. The estimates for provincial population (overall and rural) are for the year 2010-11 and are based on the most recent statistics from the Central Statistics Organization, Government of Afghanistan. The second section presents a glossary of indicators which gives a short definition of each indicator.

Foreword On behalf of the Citizens of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, it is a pleasure to present these Provincial Briefs based on the National Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (NRVA) 2007/08. These briefs are a follow up to the Poverty Status report, released July 2010 as a joint effort of the Ministry of Economy and the World Bank. The monitoring of indicators, both at the national and provincial level, is a key input to assessing progress towards the goals described in the Afghanistan National Development Strategy (ANDS). Additionally, the indicators can also help guide the development of well-targeted policy by identifying specific areas of need for each province. In this way, these briefs enhance our ability to make evidence-based decisions enabling our line Ministries to improve the pro-poor focus of their programs. The Ministry of Economy of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and the World Bank wish to take this opportunity to express appreciation to the international community partners working towards the reconstruction and development of Afghanistan. In particular, we wish to thank the European Union (EU), UK Department for International Development (DfID), World Food Programme (WFP), United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) and others for their financial and technical support to the NRVA and in turn, the development of these briefs. We look forward to continuing our collaborative work with our distinguished partners in the future.

Glossary of Indicators Poverty and Inequality Poverty rate (%) Poverty rate (or poverty head count rate) refers to the percentage of population living below the official poverty line. Depth of poverty Depth of poverty, also known as poverty gap, is the average shortfall of per capita consumption from the poverty line, shown as the percent of the poverty line. In calculating the depth of poverty, the shortfall of nonpoor is treated as zero. Average Consumption of the poor as percent of poverty line This self explanatory measure shows the average consumption of the poor as percentage of the poverty line. This measure is obtained by subtracting the ratio of poverty gap to poverty rate from 1. Per capita monthly total consumption Per capita monthly total consumption is the value of food and non-food items consumed by a household in a month (including the use value of durable goods and housing) divided by the household size. Inequality Gini Coefficient of per capita total consumption Gini coefficient measures the deviation of a given distribution of per capita consumption from a perfectly equal distribution. The value of Gini coefficient ranges from 0 to 1; 0 represents perfect equality while 1 implies complete inequality. Food Security Calorie deficiency (% consuming less than 2100 calories per day) Calorie deficiency rate refers to the percentage of population whose daily calorie intake is less than 2100 calories. Depth of calorie deficiency Depth of calorie deficiency is the mean shortfall of daily per capita calorie intake from the minimum threshold of 2100 calories. In calculating the measure, the shortfall of those whose daily calorie intake is equal to or above 2100 calories is treated as zero. Inadequate dietary diversity (%) Inadequate dietary diversity refers to the percentage of population whose food consumption scores are 42 and below. This measure aggregates the population that falls under the categories of borderline and poor food consumption. Protein Deficiency (% consuming less than 50g of protein per day) This measure refers to the percentage of population whose daily consumption of protein is less than 50 grams per day. Labor Market Age dependency ratio Age dependency ratio is the ratio of dependents (population younger than 15 and older than 64) to the population ages 15-64. Participation rate Participation rate is the proportion of adult population (16 and older) that is economically active i.e. either employed or unemployed during the reference period (30 days prior to the survey date) Employment-population ratio Employment to population ratio is the proportion of working-age population (ages 16 and older) that is employed. 69
