2026-07-01http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/417679Afghanistan's reconstruction has made considerable progress during the past four years. Led by the Government with international support but relying mostly on the energy and initiative of the Afghan people, reconstruction has resulted in solid achievements -- rapid economic growth, unprecedented primary school enrollments including enrollments for girls, great expansion of immunization, rehabilitation of major highways, a new and stable currency, promulgation of a new Constitution, Presidential and Parliamentary elections, return of refugees, and demobilization of militias. Public finance management has made a major contribution to these successes. Yet the challenges remain enormous. The main objective of this Afghanistan Public Finance Management Review is to consolidate, deepen, and present in an accessible, action-oriented form the knowledge base on Afghanistan's public finance system, review recent progress, analyze key challenges, and put forward options and recommendations for moving forward. This main report is supplemented by four additional volumes, covering public finance management performance and procurement (Volume 2); key cross-cutting issues (Volume 3); selected sector studies (Volume 4); and security sector expenditures (Volume 5).application/pdftext/plainCC BY 3.0 IGOhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/World BankACCESS TO SERVICESACUTEACUTE RESPIRATORY INFECTIONSANEMIAANTENATAL CAREBASIC HEALTH SERVICESBIRTH ATTENDANTSBIRTH RATEBIRTHSBLOOD SCREENINGCARE SERVICESCHILD HEALTH OUTCOMESCHILD MORTALITYCHRONIC MALNUTRITIONCLEAN WATERCONSTRUCTION INDUSTRYCONTRACEPTIVE PREVALENCECOST EFFECTIVENESSDEATHSDELIVERY CAREDEMAND FOR HEALTHDEMAND FOR HEALTH CAREDEMAND FOR HEALTH SERVICESDEPRESSIONDIARRHEADOCTORSDRUG USEDRUG USERSDRUGSECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTEXPENDITURESGIRLSHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE SERVICESHEALTH CARE SYSTEMHEALTH CENTERSHEALTH FACILITIESHEALTH FACILITYHEALTH INDICATORSHEALTH INTERVENTIONSHEALTH MANAGEMENTHEALTH OUTCOMESHEALTH SECTORHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH STATUSHEALTH SYSTEMHEALTH WORKERSHIGH FERTILITYHOSPITAL CAREHOSPITAL SERVICESHOSPITALSILL HEALTHIMMUNIZATIONIMMUNIZATION COVERAGEINCOME COUNTRIESINFANT MORTALITYINFANT MORTALITY RATEINFANT MORTALITY RATESINFORMATION SYSTEMINJECTING DRUG USERSINJURIESINTERVENTIONIODINEIODINE DEFICIENCYLIFE EXPECTANCYLIVE BIRTHSMALARIAMALNUTRITIONMATERNAL MORTALITYMATERNAL MORTALITY RATIOMEASLESMEDICINESMORBIDITYMORTALITYMORTALITY RATENATIONAL HEALTHNUTRITIONNUTRITION STATUSOBSTETRICAL CAREPARENTAL EDUCATIONPATIENTPATIENT VISITSPATIENTSPERSONAL HYGIENEPOLIOPOLIO ERADICATIONPOOR CHILD HEALTHPOPULATION GROWTHPREGNANT WOMENPRENATAL CAREPRIMARY HEALTH CAREPRIVATE SECTORPROVISION OF HEALTH CAREPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC EXPENDITURE ON HEALTHPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEMPUBLIC HOSPITALPUBLIC HOSPITAL SECTORPUBLIC HOSPITALSPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SPENDINGREHABILITATIONREPRODUCTIVE HEALTHREPRODUCTIVE HEALTH SERVICESREPRODUCTIVE LIFERISK FACTORSSANITATIONSCHOOLSSCREENINGSTUNTINGUNDER FIVE MORTALITYVACCINATIONVITAMIN AWASTINGWORKERS
