Afghanistan, located in South Asia, is a landlocked predominantly mountainous country. No recent census has been carried out with population estimates varying by data source. While the majority of the population (73 per cent) live in rural areas, the country is rapidly urbanizing with annual urban migration rate of over three percent driven by limited services in rural areas, frequent natural disasters, economic opportunities and returning migrants. Progress against the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is among the lowest globally; Afghanistan ranks 160 out of 167 countries ranked with progress on most indicators stagnating or improving only marginally. An exception to these trends in in SDG6 where Afghanistan has made notable progress in expanding access to basic drinking water services (SDG 6.1), coverage has increased substantially over the past decade, rising from around half of the population (52 per cent) to 82 per cent using at least basic services by 2024. Despite this progress, the country remains unlikely to achieve the 2030 target of universal access to safely managed drinking water.
