  2. Introduction: Census in Afghanistan • The last Population Census in Afghanistan was in 1979- but not completed due to security problem; only 67% of the districts were covered; • Bonn Agreement(2001): it was mentioned that a population census should be undertaken as Census in a post-conflict country is very important; • The Afghanistan Population and Housing Census (APHC) was planned for Aug 2008; • As part of its preparation, a household listing was carried out in 2003-2005

  3. Introduction: Census in Afghanistan • APHC was cancelled by the Government due to security problem; • In view of the increasing demand for data, a plan was prepared for a provincial census approach. • This methodology was appropriate for Afghanistan where security situation does not allow for a traditional nationwide simultaneous population census. • The method was also endorsed by census experts, where a meeting was held in Istanbul –Turkey.

  4. Introduction: Census in Afghanistan • The plan was presented to the National Census Committee (NCC) and National Statistical Committee(NSC) in July 2011 but did not approve the said plan due to problematic security situation. • As an alternative, to respond to the increasing demand for data and to monitor the progress of Afghanistan National Development strategy (ANDS), a provincial Socio-Demographic and Economic Survey (SDES) was started. • The SDES is planned to be rolled out starting 2011 until 2014.

  5. Introduction: Census in Afghanistan • It started in Bamiyan in 2011, and in Ghor and Daikundi in 2012.
