About the Index
Following nearly 20 years of on-going conflict with a public aim of dismantling Al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups, violence and terror attacks remain an on-going threat in Afghanistan. Additionally, poppy plantations in the country continue to contribute to Afghanistan's status as the world's leading producer of illicit opium in the world. In order to develop and implement effective interventions, regular, reliable data on safety, security and narcotics is needed.
This report includes four indices:
- public safety and security
- countering narcotics
- peace talks support, and
- governance trust.
This report shares the findings for the first of an on-going series of public opinion polls to track changes in safety and security in Afghanistan. This round of public opinion surveys was conducted between December 2018 and April 2019.
The interventions made by international organizations to counter terrorism and narcotics will be measured regularly and independently. In this way, Statistics and More plans to provide timely and accurate insights for policy makers and identify trends to impact interventions in a timely manner.
