What the numbers say
In 2023, Afghanistan's net official development assistance received (constant 2023 US$) fell 25.2% on 2022 (from US$4.09 billion to US$3.06 billion).

This year's change was 0.8 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 1,991.7% in 1987 and the biggest yearly fall was 89.7% in 1986. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2014 to 2023 the straight-line trend is downward, about US$152.81 million a year. A straight line explains 54% of the movement over 10 observed years.
