Background:

Pasaband District is located in the southern part of Ghor Province, Afghanistan. The population is 80,700 (11% Pashtun, 5% Hazara and 84% Tajik). The district center is Shinkot. Pasaband is a mountainous district and the winters are long and severe. Roads are not in good condition and some villages are accessible only using animals. Because of the inaccessibility of villages and the few wells, the people's access to clean water is a major problem. Agriculture is the main source of income and it is seriously affected by drought. The health and education need improvement.

Largest Poppy market in Ghor: the one in Kakori, in Pasaband district (most of which is under permanent Taleban control even after 2001) The provincial NDS head in Helmand considered Baghran “without government presence”. (20131104)
