Asif Karimi and Hassan Wafaey

2 Introduction Indicators Used Reasons for Collecting these data Aims
Challenges Conclusion

3 Sources AREU Library Central Statistic Office UNDP
World Health Statistics

4 Indicators Used Population (Kabul & Afghanistan)
Education (No of Students & Schools) Agriculture (Wheat, Fertilizer &Livestock) Health (TB & No of Health Facilities, Life Expectancy) Infrastructure (Asphalted Rd) Economy (Dry Fruit Exp)

5 Why did we collect these information?
AREU research teams/ Other research and policy organizations such as Government and International donors Most of the statistics is recorded in Dari/ Translated to English for international use. This database is a start to be further developed

6 Aim 1: Aid Effectiveness project
These figures can be useful to assess developmental trends and policy-making Help to examine issues such as aid effectiveness and governance in Afghanistan

7 Aim 2: Improving Research Skills
To develop research skills such as referencing, familiarizing ourselves with Data sources and resources recording and coding data. To analyze statistics (for example, finding data that does not match and coincidental events)

8 Example of Data Collection
Agriculture Indicators: Fertilizer Source 1357 1358 1359 1360 CSO no data CSO p52 chart 18 CSO p27 chart 20 CSO 1357 p64 chart 15 103,285 CSO 1358 p298 94,379 CSO 1359 p222 chart 94,403 CSO 1360 p119 chart 94,331 98,667 CSO graphic chart 100,000 95,000 115,000 CSO 1362 p166 chart22-1-3 98,536 114,264 121,974 CSO 1363 p163 chart23-1-3 CSO 1364 p121 chart CSO 1365 p123 chart CSO 1366 p120 chart

9 Example of Data Trends

10 Challenges 1. Changes in government and policies affected the data (e.g. changes in the number of secondary schools and categories of schools) 1352 1356 1357 1358 191 199 197 332 313 429 317 405

11 Challenges 2. Changes in Data from one year to another with no apparent reason. 3. The data estimation is based on the calculation from 1357 ( e.g. the asphalt road construction) 1357 1361 1362 2,746 km 102 km 40.5 km 54.1 km

12 Challenge 4: The data management from the year 1382 onward is quite different from the 1360s and 1370s. After President Karzai came to power, data was collected using different methodologies and recorded differently (e.g. road construction from is included in reconstruction projects / and statistics on dry fruit export).

13 Conclusion The figures from one year were not consistent with the figures from the following years. Missing Data: The data has not been collect over the Taliban years We can’t rely on these data alone, but if you compare with other sources, it may still be useful.
