It should be noted that the poverty estimates for many districts in the NP and EP are not available prior to 2012/2013, as they were not covered by the household surveys conducted during the conflict.

This is primarily because many estate households tend to use water from springs, streams and directly from rain without purification, which is considered as unsafe by definition.
