Islamic Republic of AfghanistanIndependent Directorate of Local Governance
A Comprehensive Analysis of District-Level Governance in
Afghanistan
Presentation
July 2009
PRESENTATION CONTENT
• Background• Profile of the District Governors• Profile of the Districts• Regional-Level Analysis of the Districts• Provincial-Level Analysis of the Districts
IDLG is developing a comprehensive analysis of governance at the district-level, using data collected during its “Good Governance” workshops as a starting point
ANALYSIS BACKGROUND
• IDLG conducted orientation and evaluation workshops for all of the District Governors, between October 2008 and May 2009
• During these workshops, IDLG evaluated the capacity of the District Governors, and also asked the Governors to conduct a self-assessment and an evaluation of conditions in their districts
• Using the data provided by the District Governors and the Capacity-Evaluation, IDLG has developed an analysis of governance in Afghanistan, at district, provincial and regional level
• IDLG is working on broadening this analysis, by enriching the data captured with other data, for example on provincial investment levels, or district-level poppy cultivation
Due to security problems and other factors, 41 District Governors were not able to attend, but overall the coverage of the country was impressive

Unsurprisingly, District Governors in insecure provinces focus more on security. Unfortunately, very few Governors at all identify gender as a challenge.
