Resumen
Descripción
Poverty reduction is one of the three
key objectives of the Afghanistan national development
strategy. The poverty profile is an important element in the
information kit of the policymaker that helps focus policy
to attain this objective. A poverty profile is standard
methodology to describe the extent and nature of poverty in
a country or region. It assesses the magnitude of poverty
and its distribution across geographic and socioeconomic
domains, provides information on the characteristics of the
poor, illustrates the heterogeneity among the poor, and
identifies correlates of poverty. The report describes the
multidimensional nature of poverty by encompassing the
nonmonetary dimensions of poverty, particularly education
and health status, and vulnerability to shocks. Tables in
the report are also disaggregated by region, income sources,
gender, and many socioeconomic characteristics. In addition
to providing a picture of the many dimensions of poverty, it
is important to also recognize that the poverty estimates in
this report are the first nationally representative,
seasonally smoothed estimates of wellbeing for Afghanistan.
Because previously no such existing estimates were
available, the provision of these estimates in this report
is new analysis that substantially fills key knowledge gaps
in our understanding of the poverty situation in Afghanistan.
