Summary: “[T]his note provides a summary of a World Bank study examining intergovernmental fiscal relations and sub-national expenditures in Afghanistan. The study and [the] accompanying summary report seek to identify the key policy challenges facing the Government of Afghanistan in this area. Two dimensions of intergovernmental finance are analyzed: first, the distribution of financial resources between different levels of government or administration, or the vertical allocation; second, the horizontal allocation, or the distribution of financial resources between different jurisdictions at the same level (i.e. the provinces).” (Summary report, p. 1).
