Protracted conflict and political instability have undermined Afghanistan's socioeconomic development, resulting in widespread poverty and weak social development. Nevertheless, Afghanistan's economy has achieved a major recovery since late 2001, with robust gross domestic product growth, albeit from a low level. The absence of officially recognized poverty estimates has prevented a systematic diagnosis of poverty in Afghanistan.
