| description |
A severe slow-down in Afghanistan's
economic growth characterized the period between 2012 and
2014, the so called Transition period leading to the 2014
election and handover of security responsibility to Afghan
forces. Afghanistan's economic malaise during this time
can be attributed to the combined effects of the drawdown of
international military forces and a sharp fall in associated
international spending, reduction of aid, and increasing
conflict and political instability. While aid fueled strong
growth during the pre-transition period between 2007-2008
and 2011-2012, worrisome socio-economic dynamics already
present intensified during the transition. Notably, the
transition crisis magnified once again the many
inequalities-between regions, cities and rural areas, rich
and poor Afghans, and between men and women and girls and
boys-that fracture Afghan society. The poorest and most
vulnerable segments of the population benefited least from
pre-transition growth, and the same groups suffered the most
once the economy and the security condition deteriorated.
This new edition of the Poverty Status Update series
documents the evolution of poverty and socio-economic
inclusion during the transition. It examines determinants of
poverty and, with an eye beyond 2014, suggests policies to
reduce vulnerability and inequalities. |
