Foreword

Two years following the power shift in August 2021, Afghanistan is at a delicate crossroad. On the one hand, there appears to have been progress in maintaining stability, improving security, anti-corruption efforts, and combating opium production and illicit trade. On the other hand, it continues to experience a multi-faceted crisis where the economy is bottoming out of a cumulative 27 percent contraction since 2020, and nearly 7 out of 10 Afghans lack access to the most basic items, opportunities and services needed for subsistence-level living conditions.
