Substantial increments in developmental outcomes have been increasingly observed in Afghanistan since 2001, especially in expanded access to sanitation, electricity, water, health services and education. Macro-economic management continues to be strong; government revenues have increased consistently since 2014, and the government has engaged in public financial management reforms and creating a business environment. Expanded access to education, infrastructure and health has seen fantastic progress in outcomes, with Afghanistan climbing up the ladder, overtaking other low-income countries over crucial development indicators. While the progress has remained uneven, increased access to infrastructure and services has resulted in substantial development gains.
