    UNHCR BACKGROUND REPORT PAKTIKA PROVINCE Prepared by the Data Collection for Afghan Repatriation Project 1 September 1989 PREFACE '!he follc,,.,ing report is one in a series of 14 provincial profiles prepared for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees by the Data collec­ tion for Afghan Repatriation Project. '!he object of these reports is to provide detailed information on the conditions affecting the repatriation of Afghan refugees in each province so that UNHCRand its inplementing partners may be better able to plan and target progranunes of relief and rehabilitation assistance. Each of the provinces featured in this series is estimated to have at least 35 percent of its pre-1978 population living as refugees. Together, these 14 provinces -- Baghlan, Farah, Ghazni, Helmand, Herat, Kandahar, Kunar, I.aghman, Logar, Nangarhar, Nimroz, Paktia, Paktika and Zarul -- account for ninety percent of the Afghan refugee population settled in Iran and Pakistan. The Data collection for Afghan Repatriation Project (OCAR)was funded by UNHCRto develop a databr3se of information on Afghanistan that would serve as a resource for repatriation planning. Project staff based iJl Peshawar and Quetta have corrlucted interviews and surveys in refugee calTlpS through­ out NWFP,Baluchistan and Punjab provinces in Pakistan to compile data on refugee origins, ethnic and tribal affiliation and likely routes of refugee return to Afghanistan. In addition, the project field staff undertake frequent missions into Afghanistan to gather specific inform­ ation on road conditions, the availability of storage facilities, trans­ portation and fuel, the level of destruction of housing, irrigation systems and farmland, the location of landmines and the political and military situation at the district (woleswali)arrl sub-district (alagadari) levels in those provinces of priority concern to UNHCR.
