Pasaband is a mountainous district where 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.
Economy
The district suffers from a weak economy due to lack of access to basic health, social and
infrastructure services, low agricultural and livestock production levels and quality, and weak
performance of local government administrations.[3]
Agricultural: wheat, barley, maize, onion, carrot and turnips.
Handicrafts: carpet and rug weaving, tailoring and embroidery.
Healthcare
With their weak economy, Ghor struggles to provide adequate access to healthcare services. The government claims this province has not experienced balanced development and continue to face challenges with Talibans return to power in Afghanistan. Additionally, due to being one of the mountainous provinces of Afghanistan, Ghor suffers from impassable transportation routes, cutting off trade in the winter months. [1]
