Takhar for More Details, Please Contact: Central Statistics Organization Name: Mr Islamic Republic of Afghanistan Central Statistics Organization SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC AND ECONOMIC SURVEY 2015 Takhar For more details, please contact: Central Statistics Organization Name: Mr. Eidmarjan Samoon P.O.Box: 1254, Ansari Watt Kabul,Afghanistan Phone: +930202104338 E-Mail: [email protected] Website: www.cso.gov.af Design: Julie Pudlowski Consulting/Reza Ahmadi Cover and inside photos: © UNFPA/CSO Afghanistan/2015 SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC AND ECONOMIC SURVEY 2015 Takhar Takhar MESSAGE FROM CSO The results of the Socio-Demographic and Economic Survey (SDES) in Takhar Province are vital in planning for future economic growth and the well-being of its people in the province. It is our role in the Government to ensure that official statistics particularly on demographic and socio-economic data are provided to all development planners, policy makers, researchers, program managers and Central Statistics Organization (CSO) stakeholders. Reliable statistics describe the reality of people’s everyday lives. The SDES in Takhar reveals a young population in the province with a median age of 16. Moreover, about 47.1 percent of the population were below 15 years old at the time of the survey. In terms of literacy, the adult literacy rate (15 years old and over) was 28.1 percent while the youth literacy rate (15-24 years old) was 46.6 percent. There was a significant gap between male and female literacy rates since there were only 48 adult literate females for every 100 adult literate males. On the other hand, there were 67 female youth literates for every 100 male youth literates. Hence, this report provides valuable information on the gender gap issue on literacy as well as in providing data on the young population, among others. SDES is the only survey with reliable statistics available up to the district level. This is the 8th SDES province that CSO together with United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) had undertaken. Despite challenges in conducting the survey, from the pre-enumeration phase up to the post-enumeration phase, let me take this opportunity to acknowledge the collective efforts of the people who were behind the success of this endeavor. Without the donors, this milestone will not be achieved. Engr. Sher Mohammad Jamizada President General of CSO 1 Takhar Province Socio-Demographic and Economic Survey MESSAGE FROM UNFPA An essential component of any development planning is data. The availability of data for development is still a constraint in Afghanistan. The SDES collects data on the size and age-sex distribution, education, migration, economic activity, fertility, mortality, birth registration, household and housing characteristics. In lieu of a census, the SDES provides up to date large scale data at the sub-national level. The SDES in Takhar Province is the 8th province to have been completed. It is a continuing project being rolled out to the remaining 26 provinces until 2019. The UNFPA Afghanistan is fully committed in supporting the Government through its Central Statistics Organization (CSO) by extending technical support in the SDES operations. The commitment began when the SDES was first implemented in Bamiyan Province in 2011. This achievement was attributed through the tremendous efforts of the CSO staff especially the people on the ground who collected the data from sample households; the supervisors and monitors who made sure that accurate information were gathered and field operations procedures were correctly followed; the donors who continue to recognize the importance of statistics in monitoring improvements in the lives of the people; and more importantly the CSO and UNFPA management who were dedicated in ensuring a job well done. It is our hope that the SDES results in Takhar Province will serve as a benchmark in coming up with sound policies and programs that the people in Takhar will benefit from.

  • Kabul Journal by Guy Fipps
    Kabul Journal by Guy Fipps Chapter 15 – Journey to Alexandria I must admit that I really didn’t know much about Afghanistan before coming here. I had seen the Rambo movie, the one where he goes to help the Afghans fight the Soviets and blows up Russian helicopters, but it really didn’t provide much insight. But, one thing I did know about Afghanistan was that Alexander the Great build a city here, one of several he founded in Central Asia, and the most eastern of all the Alexandrias. The Greeks that settled here intermarried and became integrated into the local population. These cities of Central Asia including the one in Afghanistan became the multicultural Bactria Kingdom that blended Greek and eastern thought, philosophy, architecture and art. A couple of years ago I saw a Eurasian Empires documentary on Afghanistan’s Alexandria. Better known as Ai Khanoum, the city was once located on the banks of the river that now separates Afghanistan and Tajikistan. In the documentary, the film crew crossed the river in a small wooden row boat because they could not travel to the area from within Afghanistan. My first few months here I asked both Afghans and expatriates about Alexandria (or Ai Khanoum), and no one I talked to had heard of it. Alexander built several forts and outposts in Afghanistan – “was I confused” they’d ask. It was hopeless that I’d ever see Ai Khanoum, I concluded, since I did not even know where the city was located combined with the difficulties of my restrictions and traveling in Afghanistan.

  • Afghanistan Partial Threat Assessment: the Taliban and Isis
    CAITLIN FORREST AND ROB DENABURG with harleen gambhir Feburary 23, 2016 AFGHANISTAN PARTIAL THREAT ASSESSMENT: THE TALIBAN AND ISIS Key Takeaway: Security in Afghanistan has been deteriorating since U.S. force levels dropped from a high of 100,000 in 2011 to the current force size of 9,800 they reached in June 2014. Lt. Gen. John W. “Mick” Nicholson, the incoming commander of Operation Resolute Support and U.S. Forces in Afghanistan, agreed with the remark that “the security situation in Afghanistan has been deteriorating rather than improving” in a Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) hearing on January 28. Outgoing Resolute Support Commander General John Campbell reiterated this concern on February 2, stating that the ability to train Afghan security forces will be “very limited” if U.S. forces are reduced to 5,500 by the end of January 2017 as planned. Taliban militants are capitalizing on the overextension of the Afghanistan National Security Forces (ANSF) and dearth of U.S. and NATO forces to increase attacks, particularly in Helmand Province. ISW last published its Afghanistan Threat Assessment on December 11, 2015. Since then, Taliban militants have regained much of their traditional stronghold of Helmand Province, taking control of Now Zad and Musa Qal’ah Districts after ANSF withdrew between February 20 and 22. Militants are also besieging ANSF in Sangin and Marjah Districts while attacking ANSF near Gereshk, the district center of Nahr-e Saraj. The Taliban is thereby gaining freedom of maneuver around Helmand’s provincial capital, Lashkar Gah, even though they do not control the city itself.

  • Takhar Takhar
    Islamic Republic of Afghanistan Central Statistics Organization HIGHLIGHTS SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC AND ECONOMIC SURVEY Takhar Takhar Introduction Takhar Province is the 8th province in which the Socio-Demographic and Economic Survey (SDES) has been rolled out. The 1st SDES was initiated in 2011 in Bamiyan Province by the Central Statistics Organization (CSO) of Afghanistan with the technical support from UNFPA. SDES provides information on the population characteristics, literacy, educational attainment, migration, employment, functional difficulty, fertility, mortality, birth registration and living status of parents, disaggregated by sex and district. Information on the household and housing characteristics is also included. The findings of the report are all important in determining the needs of different segments of the population. Further, this will help the development planners and programme implementers to come up with sound policies and programs designed for the localities for the effective delivery of basic services to the people of Afghanistan. Just like in other provinces where SDES has been conducted, different ways of monitoring on the survey operations (from survey planning to data analysis) were strictly implemented to ensure that high quality data are being collected despite of the insecurities in some districts in the province. 2 Takhar Province Socio-Demographic and Economic Survey Highlights 1. Objectives 1.1 Evidence‐Based Decision Making, Policy Making, Planning, and Administration From 2002, Afghanistan began receiving a massive amount of multi-sector support for development projects. Most projects were designed and implemented despite a lack of reliable population and demographic data, especially relating to villages and districts. This lack of data has hampered effective policy formulation and strategic development planning at the local level; the absence of precise baseline data also makes it difficult to measure progress or to target priority populations and ensure efficient resource allocation.
