The province is landlocked and the land routes to the north are few and difficult, passing through hilly terrain. The province itself is largely mountainous, with only 30 percent cultivated land. Nearly 50 percent of the population lives in the mountainous and arid areas. The province shares a long border with eastern and southern Afghanistan and most of its population has the same ethnic background (Pushtoon) as parts of bordering Afghanistan. This document reports on a Performance Measurement Framework (PFM) assessment by describing the existing financial systems briefly and rating these systems against the laid down indicators of the PFM Performance Measurement Framework. The study has been conducted in line with the Public Financial Management Performance Measurement Framework, using six critical dimensions of performance for an open and orderly PFM system.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCOUNTANT GENERALACCOUNTING OFFICERAGGREGATE EXPENDITUREAGGREGATE FISCAL DISCIPLINEALLOCATION OF RESOURCESANNUAL BUDGETANNUAL BUDGET PROCESSANNUAL BUDGETSANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAPPROPRIATIONSAUTONOMOUS BODIESBORROWINGBUDGET CLASSIFICATIONBUDGET CYCLEBUDGET DATABUDGET DOCUMENTATIONBUDGET DOCUMENTSBUDGET EXECUTIONBUDGET FORMULATIONBUDGET FRAMEWORKBUDGET INFORMATIONBUDGET OUTTURNBUDGET PERFORMANCEBUDGET PLANNINGBUDGET PREPARATIONBUDGET PROCESSBUDGET PROPOSALBUDGET PROPOSALSBUDGET STATEMENTBUDGETARY OUTCOMESCASH BALANCESCASH RATIONINGCENTRAL GOVERNMENTDATA ANALYSISDEBTDEBT SERVICEDEBT SERVICE PAYMENTSDEBT SERVICINGDEFICIT FINANCINGDEVOLUTIONDOMESTIC REVENUEECONOMIC ASSUMPTIONSEXPENDITURE ALLOCATIONSEXPENDITURE POLICYEXTERNAL AUDITFINANCIAL ACCOUNTABILITYFINANCIAL ACCOUNTINGFINANCIAL ASSETSFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMFINANCIAL REPORTINGFINANCIAL REPORTSFINANCIAL SYSTEMSFINANCIAL TRANSACTIONSFISCAL DECENTRALIZATIONFISCAL MANAGEMENTFISCAL RESPONSIBILITYGOVERNMENT POLICIESHOUSINGINFLATIONINSTITUTIONAL REFORMSINTERNAL AUDITINTERNAL CONTROLSLOCAL GOVERNMENTLOCAL GOVERNMENTSMUNICIPAL ADMINISTRATIONPER CAPITA INCOMEPOVERTY REDUCTIONPROVINCIAL GOVERNMENTPROVINCIAL GOVERNMENTSPROVINCIAL REFORMSPROVISIONSPUBLICPUBLIC ACCOUNTSPUBLIC ACCOUNTS COMMITTEEPUBLIC DEBTPUBLIC DEBT MANAGEMENTPUBLIC EMPLOYMENTPUBLIC ENTERPRISEPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC EXPENDITURESPUBLIC FINANCEPUBLIC FINANCE LAWPUBLIC FINANCE MANAGEMENTPUBLIC FINANCESPUBLIC FINANCIAL MANAGEMENTPUBLIC FUNDSPUBLIC REVENUESPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SERVICEPUBLIC SERVICESREVENUE COLLECTIONREVENUE POLICYSTATE OWNED ENTERPRISESTAXTAX ASSESSMENTTAXATIONTRANSPARENCYTREASURYWorld Bankhttps://doi.org/10.1596/7777
