Historical data on Afghanistan are poor and it is not possible to provide an estimate of the proportion of the Afghan population with access to clean water supplies in 2000.
The Government of Afghanistan carried out a National Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (NRVA) in 2007. The preliminary estimates from this report found that 41 per cent. of the Afghan population have access to safe drinking water (urban and rural).
The full results from this report will be available on the Central Statistics Office, Afghanistan website:
