With continued urbanisation in Afghan cities occurring in the next few decades, there is a great opportunity to promote urban development that is sustainable, equitable and a catalyst for economic growth. The priorities of the National Unity Government of Afghanistan for the urban sector are very clear. The ‘Realizing Self-Reliance’ Framework presented at the London Conference on Afghanistan in 2014 explicitly stated cities are to be drivers of economic development. The Ministry of Urban Development Affairs (MUDA) is currently leading the drafting of an Urban National Priority Programme (U-NPP) and associated comprehensive urban development programme. Together these will lay the foundations for a sustainable urban future. However in Afghanistan, basic information for urban areas does not exist, is outdated, or not shared. As a result, MUDA has been challenged to pro-actively guide the growth of Afghanistan’s cities and harness urbanisation as a driver of development. This State of Afghan Cities 2014/15 report and associated dataset is already providing essential inputs to these ongoing processes. It will ensure the outcomes are pragmatic and reflect the ground realities across the country. I sincerely thank all programme partners, the Government of Australia, and UN-Habitat for supporting MUDA to implement this programme.

Counterinsurgency, Local Militias, and Statebuilding in Afghanistan
[PEACEW RKS [ COUNTERINSURGENCY, LOCAL MILITIAS, AND STATEBUILDING IN AFGHANISTAN Jonathan Goodhand and Aziz Hakimi ABOUT THE REPORT Much international effort and funding have focused on building and bureaucratizing the means of violence in Afghanistan. At the same time, parallel government and NATO experiments have armed local defense forces, including local militias, under the Afghan Local Police (ALP) program to fight the insurgency and provide security at the local level. This report—which is based on a year’s research in Kabul and the provinces of Wardak, Baghlan, and Kunduz—seeks to understand the role and impact of the ALP on security and political dynamics in the context of ongoing counterinsurgency and stabilization operations and the projected drawdown of international troops in 2014 . ABOUT THE AUTHORS Jonathan Goodhand is a professor of conflict and development studies in the Development Studies department at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) at the University of London. His research interests include the political economy of aid, conflict, and postwar reconstruction, with a particular focus on Afghanistan and Sri Lanka. Aziz Hakimi is a PhD candidate at SOAS. His dissertation focuses on the ALP in relation to Afghan statebuilding.

Daykundi Province ‐ Socio‐Demographic and Economic Survey Highlights
Daykundi Province ‐ Socio‐demographic and Economic Survey Highlights Islamic Republic of Afghanistan Central Statistic Organization DAYKUNDI PROVINCE SOCIO‐DEMOGRAPHIC AND ECONOMIC SURVEY Highlights Central Statistics Organization of Afghanistan 2014 1 Daykundi Province ‐ Socio‐demographic and Economic Survey Highlights Introduction The very importance of population data in the formulation of government policies up to their implementation and monitoring can never be over‐emphasized. Population data provides essential information which is used in the preparation of efficient and effective development programs for the welfare of the people. Lack of up‐to‐date and accurate data hinders any development of an area since data are important for evidence‐based planning, programme development, and project monitoring. Recognizing this need as well as considering that the last census of population was carried out in 1979, the Socio‐Demographic and Economic Survey (SDES) was conceptualized by the Central Statistics Organization (CSO) and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) as the alternative way of collecting information that would address the data gap at the local level. SDES was first conducted in Bamiyan Province with financial support of the Government of Japan and technical assistance of UNFPA. This was followed up by same survey in Ghor and Daikundi. SDES provides information on the composition of the population, education, employment status and housing unit characteristics which are all vital in determining the needs of different segments of the population. The most important aspect of SDES is that data can be readily available at the lower level disaggregation, i.e. district level for local development planning. SDES also includes indicators to monitor the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) of Afghanistan such as school attendance, infant mortality, child mortality, maternal mortality, access to improved source of drinking water and improved sanitation facility.
