Project Description

The first round of Subnational Doing Business in Afghanistan will produce baseline data on four Doing Business areas that are actionable at the national and local level and where subnational differences are more likely to occur: starting a business, dealing with construction permits, registering property and getting electricity. The benchmarking will include 5 of the largest cities that serve as regional economic centers: Herat, Mezar e-Sharif, Kandahar, Jalalabad and Kabul. The second round will measure progress in each area and provide further reform recommendations.
