This report presents the first-ever comprehensive and reliable assessment of Afghanistan’s 34 Provincial Capital Cities.

The SoAC 2014/15 Report comprises two volumes:

• Volume One, presents the key findings in five Chapters according to thematic areas: Demographics and spatial structure, Governance, Economy, Land and Housing, and Environment. The Chapters are a combination of secondary data (e.g. literature, government and partner databases) and primary data (e.g. SoAC GIS and field survey analysis).
• Volume Two presents the SoAC primary data in a larger ‘atlas style’ format through a combination of maps, graphs and data tables for each city.
