This work was only possible thanks to the help of manydiverse groups including the Government of Italy throughthe Italian Cooperation Fund, the Afghanistan Ministry ofAgriculture and Animal Husbandry (MAAH), theAfghanistan Ministry of Interior (MoI), the Central StatisticalOffice (CSO) in Kabul, the Dutch Committee forAfghanistan, Oxfam (UK) and the University of Kabul.

Assistance and cooperation was gratefully received frommany staff in the MAAH including Mr Jawat, DeputyMinister of MAAH, Dr Hanif, General President of AnimalHusbandry, and Dr Raufi, General President of VeterinaryServices. Supervision of fieldwork would not have beenpossible without the enthusiastic support of many stafffrom the MAAH, the Emergency Operations andRehabilitation Division (TCE) of FAO, the University ofKabul, the Dutch Committee for Afghanistan and OxfamUK. Fieldwork was dependant upon the conscientiousattention of almost 900 staff, mainly from Veterinary FieldUnits who visited villages and collected the data.

A concentrated period of data entry and checking wasundertaken by a small group of hard working young staff.Clarification of district names and locations wasundertaken with assistance from the MoI, the CSO andDr Pinney from the Afghanistan Ministry of Reconstructionand Rural Development.

Assistance from UN personnel across diverse projects inAfghanistan and Rome is acknowledged, includingparticularly Dr Thieme, Dr Majok, Dr Favre, Dr Crowley,Mr Mack and Mr Miagostovich.

The project in Afghanistan was managed and the finalreport written by Dr Len Reynolds. Dr Habib Narwos wasAssistant Manager in Afghanistan. Data analysis wasundertaken by Dr Wolfgang Pittroff of the University ofCalifornia, Davis, and Prof Fred Dham of Texas Aand M University.

This report is produced thanks to the dedication of all theabove. The authors believe that it justifies all the hard workof the participants and will provide a baseline upon whichfuture Afghan livestock development can be built.

Executive summary

• After the end of a four-year drought and a period of insecurity in Afghanistan, the numbers oflivestock were reported to have fallen dramatically since previous estimates were made. In early2002, the Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry [MAAH] of the Transitorial Administrationof Afghanistan requested FAO to organize a national livestock census.

• The work started in Afghanistan in October 2002 with funding from the Italian Government, andfieldwork was completed by April 2003. Every village in Afghanistan was visited, with the exceptionof Barmal District in Paktika Province due to insecurity, and parts of Ghor Province due toinaccessibility over the winter period.

• A team of 28 supervisors, 24 women surveyors and 821 enumerators were employed for datacollection, and 14 data entry personnel and 10 data checkers undertook data entry and checking.This was all overseen by a Census Manager and an Assistant Census Manager.

• Basic data (Level I) covering livestock numbers, herd structures and changes in ownership as a resultof the drought were collected at the community level from every village in Afghanistan (with theabove exceptions). Production system data (Level II) was collected by supervisors from selectedhouseholds in randomly selected villages. A women’s survey covering production systems andwomen’s attitudes to livestock was collected from women in selected households, in randomlyselected villages.

• The collected data covered 3 044 670 families in 53 214 communities across 36 724 villages.

• There were a total of 3.72 million cattle, 8.77 million sheep, 7.28 million goats, 1.59 milliondonkeys, 0.18 million camels, 0.14 million horses and 12.16 million poultry.

• The number of cows kept per family was low, with only Khost, Kunar, Laghman and NuristanProvince reporting more than 1.5 cows per family. The data on calves suggests that in many areas,restocking of depleted cattle herds would not be possible at the current reproduction rates.

• Similarly reported numbers of young sheep and goats appear low in many areas, and rebuilding ofherds will be slow to achieve.

• The numbers of families without livestock have increased as a result of the drought from 4 familiesto 14.4 families per community. However, at the same time, numbers of family per community hasincreased.

• There was no pre-drought livestock census data against which direct comparisons could be made.However, earlier survey results combined with the information from the present Livestock Censusindicate that stock holding per family has decreased sharply over the period.

• When analysis of Level II and the Women’s Surveys is completed, further interpretation of the Level Idata will be undertaken.

Background

Livestock plays a fundamental role in Afghan agriculture, but existing information on thenumbers of animals in the country and their distribution predates a four-year drought andnationwide disruption. It is said that animal numbers have fallen sharply since earlier surveys

in 1995 and 1998, but there are no statistics to substantiate the claim. Farmers are aware of theneed to vaccinate their animals against diseases, but animal numbers are required for planningveterinary campaigns. Reliable statistics are also required to provide the basic information toprepare livestock development activities. However, to formulate plans we need to know thestarting point as well as our end target position. A livestock census provides the basic datarequired for livestock development activities.

In 2002 the Italian Government agreed to contribute funds for the agricultural subsectors of theIntermediate and Transitional Assistance for the Afghan people (ITAP), including the provision offunds for the National Livestock Census.

Activities

■ ORGANIZATION AND PLANNING

The National Livestock Census started in Afghanistan in September 2002 with the arrival of anexternal consultant and the Livestock Census Manager. The consultant was responsible for the designof census survey forms in consultation with the Census Manager. A basic form (Level I LivestockCensus) was drawn up covering ruminants and monogastric animals including poultry, to determinelivestock numbers and herd breakdown by age and sex (Appendix 1). Level I was designed to beconducted by enumerators on every village in Afghanistan, or on component communities withinlarge villages. A second census form (Level II Survey), to be administered by the Supervisors, covereddetails of production and marketing systems (Appendix II). The Level II form was more detailed anddesigned to be administered to individual households in randomly selected districts, villages andhouseholds. A further survey, the Women’s Survey, was administered by female enumerators towomen livestock keepers, selected randomly in selected districts (Appendix III).

Work plans were drawn up by early October 2002, with the aim of completing data collectionbefore livestock moved out of their winter quarters with the onset on spring weather. The start offieldwork was divided so that provinces with predominantly mountainous areas, where winterconditions would hinder the movement of the data collectors, would start earlier than lower altitudeprovinces.

Two levels of management were established. The Census Manager and the Assistant Managerbased in Kabul were responsible for the nationwide management of activities. Supervisors coveringtwo to three provinces provided the second management level, with Data Collectors (field staff)based in each district who were responsible for visiting all villages in their district and collectinginformation on animal numbers.

A national database kept by the Afghanistan Information Management System (AIMS) administeredunder the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) provided a list of provinces, districts andvillages. Afghanistan comprised 32 provinces, 329 districts and 30 172 villages. Provinces varied from4 districts (Saripul) to 22 (Nangarhar). Rural districts varied from 4 villages (Andkhoy in FaryabProvince) to 620 (Daykundi in Uruzgan Province). Based on population estimates from AIMS, andassuming 7 persons per family, village sizes varied from 6 families per village in the WormamayDistrict (Paktika Province) to 3 016 families in the Andkhoy District (Faryab Province). However, muchof the village data was derived from information compiled in the 1970s. The AIMS material wastaken as the planning base for the Livestock Census.

Complications arose from variations in the number of districts from the pre-2000 situation,recognized by AIMS as the authorized number, to that officially recognized by the MoI. A furthercomplication arose from the administrative situation on the ground as a result of the creation of newdistricts by provincial administrations, which had not been officially recognized by the centralgovernment.

It was decided that the locally accepted name for a district would be used in the Livestock Census,based on the answers from respondents. Names were taken and recorded in Dari or Pashto. Thesurvey forms and training manuals were prepared in English and translated into two local languages,Dari and Pashto, to be used as appropriate for individual districts. Training for Supervisors was held inEnglish and simultaneously translated into Dari by an interpreter. Supervisors trained field staff in Darior Pashto.

It was estimated that each pre-2000 district would require an average of 4.5 person-months ofwork to collect the Level I census data, giving a national total of 1 500 person-months. Less timewould be required for smaller districts or districts with easier travel conditions; more time would berequired for larger or more difficult districts. The need for flexibility was also recognized, and a timeplan conceived in Kabul could only be taken as a guideline. Supervisors were allowed to vary theallowance for human resources within limits to suit conditions on the ground. Considerable

responsibility therefore rested on Supervisors and their judgement of the situation. Orders were placed for vehicles and computer equipment in October 2002. Computer equipment

arrived in January 2003. Registration of the first vehicle occurred during February, and the secondvehicle was registered in March. The project was only able to take possession of the two vehicles atthe end of March when most of the fieldwork had already been completed.

■ RECRUITMENT AND TRAINING

Twenty-five Supervisors were selected and trained by the Census Manager and his Assistant. Elevenpersons came from the MAAH, ten from previous FAO projects, one from the University of Kabul,one from a non-government organization (NGO) and two from the private sector.

The supervisor training lasted three days and covered the purpose of the survey, the use of Level Iand Level II forms, and the organization and administration of the Supervisors’ duties. During thecourse, the Level I and Level II forms were field-tested by the Supervisors in a nearby village. Lessonslearnt during field-testing were incorporated into the training. Supervisors also received guidance onorganizing and implementing the training courses for the field staff to be held in the provinces.

Pairs of supervisors were then allocated to cover two to three provinces and given a list of thesuggested person-months needed for data collection for each district and an upper limit of the totalperson-months available for the group of provinces under their control. They were given theauthority to vary the person-months used for any one district, as long as the total person-monthsremained within the limit for their group of provinces.

The country was divided into higher and lower attitude provinces. Supervisors in higher altitudelocations started the recruitment and training of field staff at the end of October 2002. Selection andtraining in lower altitude areas started in late November.

In the provinces, the Supervisors visited provincial ministries to introduce themselves and inform theauthorities of their activities. In some locations it was possible to hold broadcast interviews on localradio stations to publicize the Livestock Census. In these areas, villagers then knew of the LivestockCensus before the Data Collectors arrived.

Supervisors recruited Data Collectors at the district level from local people with knowledge of thearea and the livestock sector. These were predominantly veterinary staff, originally part of the MAAHbut recently in the private sector environment. Other suitable local persons were recruited in districtswhere no veterinary field unit existed. Training courses were organized by the Supervisors at suitablelocations around their group of provinces, with about 30 potential field staff attending each course.Attendance at a training course, and a demonstrable understanding of the proposed activities andduties were required before contracts were offered to the field staff.

■ DATA COLLECTION

Level 1 Field data was largely numeric. A record field remained blank where the respondents wereunable to answer the question. All names and dates were recorded in local script, that is, Dari orPashto. It was decided to record “ perceived” names of the district in which the community considersitself located.

Livestock Census information was collected at the village level. However, it was believed thatinformation on total animal numbers would be more reliable from groups of a limited number, andthat it would be difficult to obtain reliable data from a single meeting in a large village. Therefore,during the planning period the collection unit was defined as a community group within a village.Community groups were based on mosque assemblies. A small village might have a single assemblywhereas a large village might have several.

Data Collectors made two visits to each mosque assembly. On the first visit there were explanationsfor the Census, thus preventing any misconceptions over its potential tax-raising implications, and forthe data required. The village or community leaders were requested to organize informationcollection from village families by the date of the Data Collectors’ return. A second visit was made afew days later and information was collected from a representative group from the mosque assembly.

In addition, data was collected from all urban centres. Kabul city was treated as a separate unit

from Kabul Province for data collection. One Supervisor and 30 Data Collectors were involved in thecensus of Kabul city, taking one month for completion. Data Collectors visited local arearepresentatives, who in turn contacted street representatives to organize data collection. Kabul cityData Collectors came from the Departments of Animal Science and Veterinary Science in theUniversity of Kabul.

Field staff in the provinces came predominantly from the staff of Veterinary Field Units (VFUs). MostVFUs are independent entities, although some are still formally contracted to NGOs. FAO receivesregular information from around 230 VFUs, but in some regions of Afghanistan these linkage arelacking. Letters of Agreement (LoAs) were prepared with two NGOs, covering areas in the west,west-central and southwest regions of Afghanistan to assist with identifying and selecting suitablefield staff in those areas with links to VFUs, and where FAO was not represented. Visits to the field tooversee the work and ensure data quality were made by the Census Management and theSupervisors.

Data collection was competed in all provinces by the end of March 2003, with the exception ofGhor Province. During the winter and early spring, road access to Ghor is virtually impossible, duemainly to snow and then to mud. The main access road was only formally declared open by theGovernment on 13 April 2003. A rapid survey was undertaken in Ghor using many data collectors,working towards its completion by the end of April. Insecurity prevented data collection in only onedistrict, Barmal in Paktika Province, adjacent to the Pakistan border.

■ DATA ENTRY AND CHECKING

Ten data entry personnel were recruited in early February 2003 for training by the consultantstatistician who visited Kabul during mid-February. Data was entered by two five-person teams intocomputers on a tailored form to simplify the transfer of information from paper to computer. Datawas entered in duplicate, once by each team. Each team worked on data from one province each ata time, with single districts being allocated to a single operator. Data entry was completed by earlyJune.

Duplicate entry by different teams simplified the task of checking the accuracy of entry, bycrosschecking the two files relating to a single district. Differences were identified and then correctedby reference to the original data form received from the field. Data checking and correction of thebasic data set was completed by the end of July.

In total, 53 000 records for Level 1 were entered by each team, each record containing 73 fields.

■ DATA ANALYSIS

Data was analysed using SAS. The basis of the analysis was an amalgamated data set comprising thefull Level I data for the Livestock Census project. The objective of the preliminary analysis was tocompute overall summaries and detect the highest priority needs for the livestock sector. For thispurpose, the following derived statistics were computed:

• dairy cattle per family (female cattle older than two years of age);

• animals available for ploughing per family (cattle older than two years including cows, donkeys andcamels);

• small stock available for sale per family (female and male younger than two years of age, adultcastrated animals;)

• recruitment in cattle, sheep, goats and donkeys (number of animals younger than two years perfemale animals older than two years).

In addition, the following indicators were summarized:

• number of families currently without livestock;

• number of families without livestock four years ago;

• the difference between these two indicators;

• number of families that currently own chicken only.

For total livestock numbers, records without information about numbers of families were included.This interim analysis does not include complete checking of consistency by comparing summaryvalues with numbers given for individual categories within species.

For all computed variables on a family basis, all records with missing information about number offamilies within the community for which the data were enumerated were omitted. Due to manymissing value cells for small stock numbers, it was decided on an individual record basis whether themissing entry was truly a missing value or indicated zero. The criterion used was overall number ofanimals in the corresponding species. When this decision was not possible, the record waseliminated.

For all computed variables involving animal ratios, records containing zeroes for the numeratorwere eliminated. For records with missing values for the numerator variable, it was decided on anindividual record basis if the missing entry denoted zero, or was truly a missing value.

■ RESULTS

National and provincial data are reported here. District data is shown in the Appendices.

■ DISTRICTS

Information from field staff employed to collect census data revealed that the FAO baselineinformation on the number of districts was at variance with the de facto situation on the ground.Over various administrations, new districts have been established by dividing those already inexistence. While the legal status of the new districts is uncertain and their boundaries unclear, it wasdecided that location identification data that was recorded on the survey sheet would reflect thedistrict names in current use by the local population.

The MoI has an official list of districts based on the 1991 situation, but this is different from the listused by the Central Statistical Office (CSO). The AIMS list of districts derives from 1979 when theonly human population census occurred. The field data collected by the current Livestock Censusshows significant variation from the official government list and from the AIMS list (Appendix 4). TheLivestock Census was able to identify the relationship between districts on the different lists, allowingpartial comparisons to be drawn between the results of the current Livestock Census and earlier FAOwork. However, since the maps presented in this report are based on the AIMS maps, the onlyavailable computerized maps of Afghanistan, one should bear this in mind in considering the results.

At the provincial level, there are a number of differences between the official list and AIMS data.Some districts are allocated to a different district in the AIMS list, and some districts have beencompletely omitted. Within provinces there are many districts that do not appear on the AIMS list,and some that have disappeared.

The AIMS database, from pre-2000 data, indicated 329 districts in 32 provinces. Areas in whichprovincial capitals are sited are counted by the MoI as administrative units rather than districts, e.g.the capital areas such as Ghazni, Qalat, and Qalay I Naw “ Districts” . The CSO uses the title “ minorcivil division” for all provincial centres and districts. There are 351 districts plus 32 provincialadministrative areas on the MoI list, but 357 plus 32 provincial centres in the minor civil divisions ofthe CSO. Information collected from the field has shown that there are 397 de facto districts(counting provincial administrative areas as districts) and up to 7 more in Ghor Province and Barmal

District in Paktika Province that were not accessed by the Census (Table 1). Some of the districts onthe MoI and CSO lists are not recognized by name by the people on the ground. These wereRashidan and Wali Mohd Shaheed in Ghazni Province, Taraw in Paktika Province and Firoz Nakhchirin Samangan Province. Full details are shown in Appendix 1.

The project collected data from 16 urban districts (Nahya) in Kabul city. These areas are notcounted as separate districts by the MoI, but are called districts by the CSO. ■

Villages, communities and families

The current census data showed that there were more villages than recorded on the AIMSdatabase. The Census recorded 36 724 villages in the districts surveyed, compared to 30 690villages recorded in the AIMS database, and around 36 000 villages known to the MoI

(Table 2). The number of families recorded in the current work was 3 044 670, suggesting 83 familiesper village. However, the true number of families is even greater than this because somecommunities were unable to state the number present. An attempt was made to determine thenumber of Kuchi families separately from resident families. The overall total of 23 949 Kuchi familiesrecorded in the Census understates the true position because normal migration patterns have beendisturbed by insecurity along the Pakistan border. ■

Livestock numbers

Nationally, the total number of cattle was 3.7 million. Provincial numbers are shown in Table 3.The most important cattle-owning provinces were Badakshan and Nangarhar, each holdingover 0.3 million cattle, and Takhar and Uruzgan with over 0.2 million each. Nationally, there

were 8.8 million sheep and 7.3 million goats. Almost 0.8 million sheep were recorded in HiratProvince, and over 0.5 million in Badghis, Faryab, Hilmand and Kandahar. Out of 7.3 million goats,over 0.5 million were recorded in Hirat, Hilmand and Nuristan. Afghanistan contains 1.6 milliondonkeys, with over 0.1 million in Badakhshan, Hirat and Takhar. Of the provinces having less than175 000 camels, only Hilmand and Kandahar had more than 20 000. Horses were reported as havingthe smallest numbers (140 000), of which only Kunduz reported more than 20 000.

These numbers are of limited value on their own. Knowledge of the changes in herd structure overtime will indicate whether herds are increasing or decreasing, and if they are capable of meeting theobjectives set by their owners. The importance of these changes to society will vary according to thecontribution of livestock to the household. Hence, animal numbers per household must also beconsidered. Another aspect is the ability of the environment to support livestock withoutdegradation. This depends, of course, on a combination of natural and cultivated resources.

As indicated from the numbers in Table 4, only families in Khost, Kunar, Laghman and Nuristan ownmore than three or more cattle. Families own more sheep than goats in most provinces, but Nuristanfamilies have seven times more goats than sheep. In general, there are more goats than sheep inprovinces along the border with Pakistan. Families in the east and southeast keep the most poultry. ■

Herd structures

Understanding herd structures will allow for judgement to be made on the continuingcontribution of livestock to the household. The Level I Census with data collected at thecommunity level has been augmented in the Level II surveys with household level data and a

survey of women livestock keepers focusing on production systems and objectives. The final reportwill incorporate this information, enabling greater understanding of the livestock sector.

■ FEMALE CATTLE OLDER THAN TWO YEARS

Although it is unlikely that all cows enter lactation at the age of two years, for the sake of simplifyingthe Level I Census this age threshold was chosen to provide an upper limit to numbers in meaningfulstock classes, in particular cattle available for dairy production and recruitment (see Table 5). Onlyfamilies in Khost, Kunar, Laghman and Nuristan owned more than 1.5 cows per family (Table 5).

■ YOUNG STOCK

A simple approach to summarizing the state of reproduction is to compute a ratio of young stock tonumber of reproductive females. If data are of acceptable accuracy (which can be only expected ifthe simplest numbers are used, e.g. two age classes), this ratio can provide some insight as towhether populations are stable, declining or have potential to increase. Of course, this will beaffected by the time of the year, regional markets, and other variables that will influence thenumbers, since not all data can be collected simultaneously. Therefore, on their own, the data isinsufficient to suggest high priority areas or to give reason for complacency. They must be evaluatedin the context of other indicators, and will be further analysed together with Level II data. The dataare computed as the sum of categories (younger than two years of age) and the current year’s young(calves, lambs, kids, foals). These categories were kept clearly separate in the Livestock Census.

In many cases, where there were no entry cells, these were interpreted as true zeroes. This will likelybe incorrect in many cases. Therefore, the values reported in Table 5 must be viewed as a lower limit.

■ CATTLE

The data indicate that restocking depleted herds in many areas will not be possible with currentreproduction rates. For a full appreciation of the reproduction rates offtake (sale and slaughter), datafor stock of less than two years of age are also required, but are not available from the Level 1 data.The available information suggests that cattle reproduction in the east-central area (Ghazni, Wardak,Logar, Parwan, Kapisa, Kunar) and in Kunduz and Badghis at 0.7 calves per adult female per yearindicates a calving interval of 15 months after allowing for 10 percent mortality. At the other end ofthe scale, the calving interval in Jawzan appears to be 3.5 years. Depending on results from Level II,more in-depth analysis of this critical problem is clearly indicated, for example, by spot surveys andmarket surveys. It is also important to compare these data with available information about theregional extent and severity of drought.

■ SMALLSTOCK

The basic data in Level I does not differentiate between Karakul and other sheep breeds. Provinceswith higher levels of Karakul could expect lower proportions of two-year-old young stock. The datashown below suggests that lamb numbers/ewe/year of 1.5 and above are available for restockingonly in Logar, Nangarhar, Wardak, allowing for a mortality rate over two years of age of 25 percent,subject to the same caveats as the cattle values. Similarly, for goats, 1.5 kids/ doe/ year is onlyreached in Badghis, Nangarhar and Nuristan.

■ DRAFT ANIMALS

The survey asked for available draft animals. Potentially available draft animals per family werecalculated in two ways: by calculating the statistics based on questionnaire answers and bysummarizing all categories that could potentially be used for draft. Draft animals in the questionnairewere oxen, donkeys, camels and horses, and can be used for ploughing, pulling carts and carryingloads. Several of the assumptions that underlie the number of draft animals available for ploughingwere computed separately. First, the preferred animals are oxen. However, if no oxen are available,farmers also use cows, donkeys and camels. Consequently, this computed variable is the sum offemale older than two years old for cattle, donkeys and camels; males older than two years old fordonkeys and camels; and adult castrated cattle (Table 7).

Families own two or more ploughing animals in nine provinces. In the other provinces, collaborationis needed between families to constitute a pair of animals to draw a plough. ■

Changes in number of families owning livestock

Preliminary data and evidence suggested a massive and widespread reduction in livestocknumbers due to the four-year drought. Lacking dependable survey data prior to its onset, it isnot easily possible to obtain an accurate estimate of the extent of its impact. All communities

were asked the current numbers of families without livestock, and the number of families four yearsprior to the interview (a time corresponding to pre-drought conditions).

In addition to drought, two additional factors that impact on the number of families in thecommunities must be considered, namely the appreciation of the Afghan currency after the oustingof the Taliban regime which forced many to sell stock in order to finance loans, and the substantialmovement of refugees back into Afghanistan. The effects of these two factors are particularly evidentin Kabul city. Data from Kabul city were removed from the analysis of changes in number of familiesowning livestock because they clearly distorted the overall results. There is verbal evidence suggestingthat the returnees had left parts of their livestock holding with family members outside ofAfghanistan.

The following province-level summary (Table 8) shows that overall there was a reduction in thenumber of families owning livestock. However, this was not the case for all provinces. The highstandard deviation (SD) on the data is noticeable and must be borne in mind when interpreting thedata. The data reported here are absolute numbers. The largest changes were found in Balkh andHirat Provinces, both areas that include a major city with returnees, many of whom are withoutlivestock. ■

Discussion

Previous data on livestock numbers can be found in FAO surveys undertaken since 1995. Someareas covered in 1995 were omitted from the larger coverage of 1998 due to security andaccessibility problems. In the absence of a sampling frame, there is no way to tell whether the

areas covered give a true representation of the situation in a district, province or nationally. Noreliable data exists against which estimates can be made as to the proportion of the families orcommunities included in the surveys. Comparison between total numbers reported in the varioussurveys is not sensible, but nevertheless, the numbers per household may give a general indication ofthe pre-drought livestock situation, together with the changes that have occurred between 1995 andthe present day.

Livestock owned per family, and in sheep numbers in particular, have clearly fallen sharply (Table 9).Although the decline between 1998 and 2003 appears steeper than between 1995 and 1998,changes were already under way during the earlier period. There are reports of transbordermovements of livestock by emigrating families, and of returnees leaving stock behind whileinvestigating the situation in Afghanistan for themselves.

The time of year of the surveys is also important because the Kuchi herds may or may not bepresent. The Kuchi population in the south and southeast of the country spend the winter in Pakistanor in districts of Afghanistan close to the border (FAO 1999). With the current security situation alongthe border area, it is probable that many would have chosen to remain in Pakistan.

During the 1995 survey, the average sheep flock for Kuchis was 100 head, and nationally, the totalowned by Kuchis was equal to the number owned by the resident population. The present LivestockCensus only captured records from 29 000 Kuchi families, far fewer than were recorded by thelimited surveys during 1995 (59 000 families) and 1998 (75 000 families).

Given that a far smaller Kuchi population was captured by the FAO Livestock Census in 2003, acomparison would be better made with the stock holdings of resident families in previous years. Onthis basis it is still clear that livestock holdings have declined, and that sheep have been particularlyhard hit by adverse conditions.

Limited livestock data can be found in the bi-annual winter and summer agricultural surveysundertaken by FAO. In the most recent Agricultural Survey, livestock numbers per family have beenshown to be considerably reduced from pre-drought values. The Agricultural Survey undertaken inMay to June 2002 collected data from 5 000 farms in 540 villages across all 32 provinces and agro-ecological zones. The results indicated that on average a typical farm owned two cattle, four sheep,four goats and six chickens. Compared to the previous year, livestock numbers and the proportion offarms keeping livestock have decreased. Survey data over 1998-2002 indicated that livestocknumbers had fallen faster in the later years of the drought.

Preliminary results from the Agricultural Survey in winter 2002 indicated that both livestocknumbers and proportion of farmers with livestock had started to increase compared to earlier in theyear. More information is needed on the marketing patterns for livestock in order to understand thesignificance of these observations.

The present FAO Livestock Census shows that over the country as a whole, livestock numbers perfamily are lower than those found in the earlier FAO surveys. ■

APPENDIX 1

EXPLANATION OF DISTRICT COMPARISONS BETWEENTHE OFFICIAL LIST

(AFGHANISTAN MINISTRY OF THE INTERIOR) 2003, AIMS 2001 AND

THE FAO LIVESTOCK CENSUS FIELD DATA, 2003

The capital cities of provinces and the geographic areas in which they are located are not officially designated as districts. They are called “administrative units”. However, there is no differentiation made by the people on the ground. The Ministry of the Interior (MoI) therefore omits these administrative units from their list of districts.

During the recent periods of insecurity, additional districts have been formed unofficially in some locations by local area commanders, and in some cases pre-existing districts have been unofficially moved from one province to another. Examples are especially found in the northern provinces of Faryab, Jawzjan, and Balkh.

The district list used by the Afghanistan Information Management Service (AIMS) dates from 1979 when the first and final complete human population census was taken. The list of official districts provided by the MoI originates from 1991, but unfortunately the MoI has no maps showing the boundaries of these official districts. The Central Statistics Office has hand-drawn maps with district boundaries and village locations, which remain to be computerized. However, some official district names are not in use by the local population. The Livestock Census therefore relied on information provided to the data collectors by village representatives, together with their own local knowledge in recording district names.

The following is an attempt to reconcile different sources of information.1

1 Italics and square brackets for AIMS data represent original provinces from which new ones have emerged. Question marks signify probable provinces.
