    Afghanistan

    The Afghanistan land sector is plagued by a multitude of problems linked to weak governance, corruption and lack of capacity. There are competing claims to land, widespread conflicts, resultant landlessness and poverty. Other issues are limited availability of undisputed farmland, difficulties in accessing grazing lands and many disputes over pasture lands. These issues are exacerbated by conflicting land ownership systems, insecure land tenure and registration, weak land governance environment and uncertain and incomplete legal frameworks.

    Afghanistan

    Afghanistan has come a long way since
    emerging from major conflict in late 2001. Important
    political milestones mandated by the Bonn Agreement (two
    Loya Jirgas, a new Constitution, recently the Presidential
    election) have been achieved. The economy has recovered
    strongly, growing by nearly 50 percent cumulatively in the
    last two years (not including drugs). Some three million
    internally- and externally-displaced Afghans have returned

    conditions. Real per capita income is about 60percent higher
    now than in 1971. The share of population in poverty
    currently stands at about 50 percent, compared with over 70
    percent in the early 1970s. Even more impressive has been
    the progress in improving the social and human dimensions of
    poverty. Bangladesh's faster gains in human development

    ABSTRACTED FROM EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On December 30, 2018, Bangladesh held national elections. The election was not deemed fair by observers, and from the point of filing nomination papers to election campaigning, the opposition faced severe political obstacles. Their cadres were arrested, and rallies and campaign were attacked by the ruling party’s supporters. The government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wazed, which has been in power since 2009, employed the police as a political tool during the period under review.

    Nepal

    The last two years have been a period of rebound and cautious optimism in Nepal. After having been hit by two large earthquakes in 2015 that killed over 9,000 people and rendered many more homeless, and having suffered through a long, tortuous constituent assembly process that finally resulted in a new constitution, the country has seen progress on political and economic fronts in the recent past. Governance, however, remains an issue.
