Afghanistan

CIET carried out three projects in Afghanistan during the 1990s, two on land mines (1994 and 1997) and a multiple indicator cluster survey in 1997. After a hiatus of eleven years CIET returned in 2008 with a Demonstration Community-based Social Audit of Health Services in two districts of Afghanistan.

The land mines work has contributed to three publications:

Andersson, N., Palha de Sousa, C., Paredes, S. Social cost of land mines in four countries: Afghanistan, Bosnia, Cambodia and Mozambique. British Medical Journal1995; 311:718-721
