GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION of ASSISTANCE
Collecting geographical information of aid has always been a challenge for the
Ministry of Finance (MoF). Thus, external assistance that lack provincial information is
incorporated in the “multiple-province” field, which indicates that the assistance has
had “nation-wide” impact. From the USD 12.93 billion external assistance disbursed
in 2011, USD 11.5 billion has been reported to have had a nation-wide impact, whilst
the remaining USD 1.43 billion has gone to specific provinces. To obtain a snapshot
of where the resources have gone, [Figure 5] reflects data for the 10 provinces that
received the highest amount of external assistance in the year 2011. Of the US$ 1.43
billion, the maximum amount goes to the capital Kabul (USD 252 million) followed by
Kandahar (USD 181 million), and Helmand (USD 172 million). Provinces of Nangarhar,
Uruzgan, Paktika, Bamyan, Balkh, Herat and Baghlan have, on average, received USD
50 million. Other provinces were the recipient of the remaining USD 472 million. For
further details of provincial distribution of external assistance, please refer to [Table
11] in the Annex of this report.
