The two phases of the Rapid EFSA in Afghanistan were carried out in different districts of the 14 most drought affected provinces of the northern, northeastern, western and central highlands areas. The 1st phase of EFSA generated planning figures used in the update of the Consolidated Appeal (CAP) and for individual Agency planning. The consolidated assessment (1st and 2nd phase) will provide more refined quantitative and comparable information on the impact of the dry conditions on the affected population as it uses more data covering the heterogeneous affected provinces.
