Methods: Data was collected through a field survey from the randomly selected 186 households in three rangeland villagesin the Bamyan Province, Afghanistan. The relationship between social capital and household poverty was analyzed usinga binary logistic regression and correlation analysis. Results: Poor households (.728) were found to have lower social capital than non-poor households (.782). People who livein the Shah Foladi protected area (.687) have lower social capital than those of the Band-E-Amir national park area (0.800). Respondents with a government tenure (.801) were more likely to have higher social capital than those with a public tenure(.608). Conclusion: In this study, social capital has a significant impact on alleviating the poverty of rangeland households inAfghanistan.
