Evidence search to support a business case for Afghanistan’s transport, energy and water infrastructure sectors
This is a rapid desk-based evidence search
Abstract
In this mini-review are to be found:
(a) additional details on Afghanistan’s economy and growth to support
the overall business case;
(b) a rapid review of infrastructure and the extractive industries;
(c) a brief overview of infrastructure in fragile and conflict-affected
states;
(d) an evidence note on strengthening the role of civil society and/or
user groups in service delivery quality (where attitudes are partly
determined by prior experience and expectations);
(e) examples of \"virtuous and vicious circles\" and willingness to pay
for infrastructure services (water and energy focus); and
(f) a short background note and macro-economic overview of
infrastructure needs in Asia (energy and water) and a summary of an
evaluation of a decade of World Bank transport sector funding.
