Evicted and Abandoned

Afghanistan

4 projects with confirmed or possible displacement between 2004 and 2013. That represents 7% of all the World Bank-financed projects in Afghanistan. An estimated 1,287 people were displaced by 1 project. The World Bank doesn't have information on the effects produced by the rest.

Correction May 26, 2015: A previous version of this database included one project for this country listed as involving “possible displacement” that has been removed because the end-of-project indicates that physical or economic displacement did not ultimately happen.
