These projects often left behind many problems in acquisition and compensation processes for displacement households which cause several economic impacts. Afghan government and NGOs have implemented many development and extension projects in each part of Afghanistan since 2001. These development projects are building of dams, airports, and roads.

These urban projects have displaced many dwellers of Qalacha Khamdan's area and lost their valuable land and welldesigned dwellers. Moreover, the acquisition and compensation processes also had numerous shortages in the world during implementation of development projects. Therefore, this paper examines the acquisition and compensation processes in Qalacha Khamdan areas. The relevant data has been collected by observations, interviews, and questionnaires from key informants of displacees. The finding shows that the displaced population has lost valuable land and well-designed homes and dissatisfied on acquisition and compensation due to no transparency existed in the assigned committee.
