How We Verify Information

In a rapidly changing environment like Afghanistan, accuracy is a matter of safety. We adhere to strict architectural and research standards to ensure our data remains trustworthy.

Our Source Hierarchy

1. Primary: Official Government Advisories

Safety, security, and legal realities are sourced exclusively from official government departments (e.g., US State Dept, UK FCDO, Ireland DFA). We prioritize these because they carry the weight of legal liability and comprehensive intelligence.

2. Secondary: International Monitoring Bodies

Information on health, human rights, and humanitarian logistics is sourced from the United Nations (UNAMA), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).

3. Tertiary: Academic & Historical Records

Cultural and historical context is cross-referenced with established academic encyclopedias, the Library of Congress, and peer-reviewed journals.

Limitations & Use Cases

This website is an informational tool, not a substitute for real-time specialized security advice. Conditions in Afghanistan can change in hours. Always complement this guide with real-time news monitoring and professional security consultation if you are planning to enter the country.

This methodology ensures that the "Afghanistan Guide" remains the most trustworthy informational portal for the general public.
