Jawzjan Province Islamic Republic of Afghanistan Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation & Development (MRRD) NATIONAL RURAL WATER SUPPLY, SANITATION & IRRIGATION PROGRAM (Ru-WatSIP) Provincial Profile Jawzjan GENERAL INFORMATION Geography Jawzjan province is situated in the Northern part of Afghanistan, bordering Turkmenistan in the North, Balkh Province in the East, Sar-e-Pul Province in the South and Faryab Province in the West. The province covers an area of 10,326 km2. The province is divided into 11 districts. The provincial capital is Sheberghan which has a population of about 161,700 inhabitants. Population Jawzjan has a total population of 512,100. There are 50,900 households in the province, and households on average have 7 members. page 1 of 8 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 26 percent (WHO 2001). 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 MDG Indicator 7.8 The National Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (NRVA) 2011-12 Proportion of the population inventory of community preferences for development among male and using improved drinking water female Shuras emphasized the importance of water supply, as they sources assigned it top priority. The household survey recorded that access to improved drinking water sources2 is available to 46 percent of the 45.5 population of Afghanistan. Compared to the results of the NRVA 2007- 08 round this indicates a sharp increase of the share of the population with safe drinking water from 27 to 46 percent. The situation especially improved in rural areas, where the share of the population using improved sources almost doubled between 2007-08 and 2011-12 from 20 to 39 percent. If this rate of improvement is continued, the ANDS target of 61.5 percent in 2020 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 21 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 28 percent on hand pumps (an improved drinking water source). The reliance on piped water (improved source) is 9 percent overall, but with 26 percent it the most important source in urban areas. Percentage of households with access to improved sources of drinking watera, by residence; Time to reach drinking water source (all water sources), by residence Indicator Residence National Urban Rural Kuchi Percentage of population with access to improved drinking 90.9 39.4 21.0 45.5 water source Time to reach drinking water source (one way, in minutes) mean time 1 7 18 6 median time 0 3 10 1 aImproved 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. 2Improved 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 2 of 8 Percentage of households with access to safe drinking water, by province TA J I K I S TA N UZBEKISTAN DUSHANBE CHINA TURKMENISTAN JOWZJAN KUNDUZ BADAKHSHAN BALKH TAKHAR FARYAB BAGHLAN SAMANGAN IR H JS SAR-E PUL N PA BADGHIS NURISTAN K AP L 72 Lin IS AG KUNAR 9 e of C PARWAN A H 1 ont M rol A BAMYAN N KABUL WARDAK NANGARHA HERAT LOGA R R GHOR N ISLAMABAD PAKT IYA INDIA DAYKUNDI IR AN KHOST GHAZNI URUZGAN FARAH Legend: PAKTIKA ZABUL 0 - 9 PA K I S TA N 10 - 14 15 - 19 HELMAND KANDAHAR 20 - 29 NIMROZ 30 - 39 40 - 49 50 - 100 803283AI (G00878) 12-08 Sanitation Source: National Risk and Vulnerability Assesstment (NRVA 2011-2012) Safe disposal of human excreta creates the first barrier to excreta-related MDG Indicator 7.9 disease, helping to reduce transmission through direct and indirect – for example, animal and insect – routes. The 2011-12 NRVA found that 8.3 Proportion of population using an percent of the population used improved sanitation facilities. Compared improved sanitation facility3 with NRVA 2007-08, the present survey shows relative improvement up from 5 percent, but in absolute terms the share of the population with 8.3 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 29 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 2013). Using this additional criterion, only 6 percent of the population – 19 percent in urban areas, 2 percent in rural areas and none of the Kuchi – rely on the most adequate method for sanitation.

The NRVA 2011-12 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 8 Settled Population of Jawzjan by Civil Division, (Urban, Rural and Sex) based on 2012-2013/NRVA Rural Urban Total Urban and Rural No Minor Civil Division Male Female Both Sexes Male Female Both Sexes Male Female Both Sexes 1 Center (Sheberghan) 42,000 43,200 85,200 37,700 38,800 76,500 79,700 82,000 161,700 2 Khwaja Dukoh 12,800 13,400 26,200 0 0 0 12,800 13,400 26,200 3 Khanaqa 11,200 11,400 22,600 0 0 0 11,200 11,400 22,600 4 Mingajik 20,300 21,400 41,700 0 0 0 20,300 21,400 41,700 5 Qush Tepa 11,200 11,600 22,800 0 0 0 11,200 11,600 22,800 6 Khamyab 6,600 7,000 13,600 0 0 0 6,600 7,000 13,600 7 Aqchah 25,100 25,900 51,000 11,200 11,700 22,900 36,300 37,600 73,900 8 Faizabad 19,800 20,700 40,500 0 0 0 19,800 20,700 40,500 9 Mardyan 18,500 19,000 37,500 0 0 0 18,500 19,000 37,500 10 Qarqin 8,200 8,400 16,600 3,500 3,700 7,200 11,700 12,100 23,800 11 Darzab 22,400 23,400 45,800 1,000 1,000 2,000 23,400 24,400 47,800 Total 198,100 205,400 403,500 53,400 55,200 108,600 251,500 260,600 512,100 Source: Central Stascs Organizaon (CSO) 2012-2013 page 4 of 8 Ru-WatSIP activities and projects in Jawzjan since 2003-2013 Direct Province District Output Activity Quantity Budget Status Beneficiaries JAWZJAN AQCHAH Shallow Well Digging 4 6,950 600 Completed JAWZJAN AQCHAH Latrine Construction 6 360 42 Completed JAWZJAN AQCHAH Hygiene Education Training 600 1,290 600 Completed JAWZJAN AQCHAH Shallow Well Digging 20 193,175 3000 Completed JAWZJAN AQCHAH Latrine Construction 20 66,045 140 Completed JAWZJAN AQCHAH Shallow Well Digging 1 1,300 175 Completed JAWZJAN AQCHAH Latrine Construction 1 9,966 7 Completed Water Supply JAWZJAN AQCHAH Construction 1 73,660 140 completed Network JAWZJAN DARZAB Shallow Well Digging 7 12,132 1050 Completed

  • IT in Afghanistan
    ICT in Afghanistan (two-way communication only) Siri Birgitte Uldal Muhammad Aimal Marjan 4. February 2004 Title NST report ICT in Afghanistan (Two way communication only) ISBN Number of pages Date Authors Siri Birgitte Uldal, NST Muhammad Aimal Marjan, Ministry of Communcation / Afghan Computer Science Association Summary Two years after Taliban left Kabul, there is about 172 000 telephones in Afghanistan in a country of assumed 25 mill inhabitants. The MoC has set up a three tier model for phone coverage, where the finishing of tier one and the start of tier two are under implementation. Today Kabul, Herat, Mazar-i-Sharif, Kandahar, Jalalabad, Kunduz has some access to phones, but not enough to supply the demand. Today there are concrete plans for extension to Khost, Pulekhomri, Sheberghan, Ghazni, Faizabad, Lashkergha, Taloqan, Parwan and Baglas. Beside the MoCs terrestrial network, two GSM vendors (AWCC and Roshan) have license to operate. The GoA has a radio network that reaches out to all provinces. 10 ISPs are registered. The .af domain was revitalized about a year ago, now 138 domains are registered under .af. Public Internet cafes exists in Kabul (est. 50), Mazar-i-Sharif (est. 10), Kandahar (est. 10) and Herat (est. 10), but NGOs has set up VSATs also in other cities. The MoC has plans for a fiber ring, but while the fiber ring may take some time, VSAT technology are utilized. Kabul University is likely offering the best higher education in the country. Here bachelor degrees in Computer Science are offered. Cisco has established a training centre in the same building offering a two year education in networking.

  • SLEAC Report)
    Coverage Assessment (SLEAC Report) Jawzjan Province, Afghanistan November 2015 AFGHANISTAN Author: Nikki Williamson (SLEAC Project Manager) Action Contre la Faim ACF is a non-governmental, non-political and non-religious organization Executive Summary The following report presents key findings from one of a series of five provincial coverage assessments in Afghanistan, undertaken as part of a UNICEF funded ACF coverage project1. The project assessed the coverage of the treatment of severe acute malnutrition (SAM) services across five provinces: Laghman, Badakhshan, Jawzjan, Bamyan and Badghis. In each province the standard SLEAC (Simplified LQAS2 Evaluation of Access and Coverage) methodology was used in order to achieve coverage classifications at district level and coverage estimations at provincial level. The opportunity was also taken to collect qualitative information on the factors inhibiting access to SAM treatment services as well as those acting in favour of access. SLEAC uses a two-stage sampling methodology (sampling of villages and then of SAM children) to classify the level of needs met in a province, i.e. to what extent severely acutely malnourished (SAM) children are reaching treatment services. By also administering questionnaires to each SAM case found, whether covered (undergoing treatment) or uncovered (not being treated), a SLEAC assessment also provides information regarding factors influencing access and coverage. It was expected that, due to patterns of insecurity and varying administrative division of provinces across Afghanistan, sampling of villages and SAM cases by district would present both practical and methodological challenges to the implementation of these SLEAC assessments. Therefore, selected provinces were divided into zones for classification rather than each district being classified, as is typically the case for SLEAC assessments.

  • Afghanistan Opium Survey 2020: Cultivation and Production
    Islamic Republic of Afghanistan Afghanistan Opium Survey 2020 Cultivation and Production ‒ Executive Summary APRIL 2021 Research Page intentionally left blank Afghanistan Opium Survey 2020 – Executive Summary Introduction This Executive Summary presents the key findings of the Afghanistan Opium Survey 2020. The survey is implemented by NSIA in collaboration with UNODC. The survey team collects and analyses information on the location and extent of opium poppy cultivation, potential opium production and the socio-economic situation in rural areas. This information is essential for planning, implementing and monitoring counter-narcotic efforts. The opium survey is implemented within the technical framework of the UNODC Illicit Crop Monitoring Programme (ICMP), established in 1999 upon request of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs in its resolution 42/3, Monitoring and verification of illicit cultivation. The objective of ICMP is to assist the international community in monitoring the extent and evolution of illicit crops and to compile reliable and internationally comparable data. Currently, UNODC carries out monitoring activities in seven countries affected by illicit crop cultivation: coca surveys in Bolivia, Colombia and Peru; opium poppy surveys in Afghanistan, Mexico and Myanmar; and a cannabis survey in Nigeria. The Afghanistan Opium Survey 2020 was implemented under the project “Monitoring of Opium Production in Afghanistan” (AFG/F98), with financial contributions from the Government of United States of America. 3 Afghanistan Opium
