How should I cite an Afghanistan statistic?
Name the organization and report, state the statistic exactly, include its reference period and publication date, and link directly to the primary page or document.
What the figure or term means
Preserve qualifiers such as estimated, projected, suspected, confirmed, or people targeted.
Record the geographic and population scope.
Avoid citing a search snippet when the original source is available.
Recheck the link and number before publication or a major campaign.
How to use this information responsibly
Good data use begins with the indicator definition, source, publication date, reference period, geographic coverage, denominator, and whether the figure is observed, estimated, projected, targeted, or reached.
A precise-looking number can still carry uncertainty. Responsible reporting preserves the source’s wording and does not convert projections into verified counts.
Check the underlying information.
