The lack of proper roads in many provinces of Afghanistan is one of the major problems of this country, which has many negative effects on the economic, social and welfare development of the people. Many roads and roads in rural and even urban areas of Afghanistan are either not completely built or are in a very poor condition. This situation has several consequences, some of which are mentioned below:

  1. Restriction in access to basic services

    • The lack of proper roads means that people in remote areas do not have enough access to basic services such as health centers, schools and markets. This issue creates serious problems especially in emergency situations, such as the need for urgent medical services.

  2. Decreasing economic growth

  • Improper roads increase the cost of transporting goods and agricultural products. This not only leads to a decrease in the profits of producers, but also prevents the growth and development of local and national markets. Due to these restrictions, rural areas are not able to sell their products widely.

  1. increasing poverty and unemployment

    • The lack of proper infrastructure, including roads, hinders the growth of industry and trade in different areas and provides fewer job opportunities for people. This issue has a greater impact especially in the provinces that are dependent on agricultural products and livestock.

  2. security problems

    • The lack of proper roads can also limit the access of security forces and government institutions to remote areas. This makes the government’s control over these areas less and rebel groups can operate easily.

  3. Restriction in education

  • Students in remote areas face many problems to reach their schools. The lack of proper roads makes students unable to reach schools on time or even stop studying. This problem is especially severe in winter and rainy seasons.

  1. Increase in accidents and road hazards

    • Improper and non-standard roads are the main cause of many road accidents that lead to extensive human and financial losses. The lack of proper road infrastructure not only threatens the safety of drivers and passengers, but also severely reduces the efficiency of the transportation system.

  2. Decreasing social and business communication

    • Roads play an important role in increasing social and commercial interactions between different provinces and regions. The lack of proper roads limits these interactions and causes isolation and lack of cultural and economic exchange between different regions of the country.

    • Conclusion:
      The lack of proper roads in the provinces of Afghanistan is a serious obstacle for the economic and social development of the country. Solving this problem requires extensive investments in transportation infrastructure, international cooperation, and improving security in different regions so that the construction and maintenance of roads can be done in a sustainable manner.
