Small salaries also contribute to the poor quality of health services, often resulting in medical negligence, which is a critical concern throughout Tajikistan and contributes to a lack of public trust in the health system and the medical profession in general.

(...) Third, security sector reform is an important element in strategies for building a sustainable peace in post-conflict settings, making it possible to prevent relapses into violent conflict; in addition, as a State with a dysfunc- tional security sector can constitute a destabilizing factor within its own re- gion, security sector reform carried out at a regional level has the virtue of serving as a confidence-building measure. (...) The OECD defines security system reform as “the transformation of the ‘security system’ — which includes all the actors, their roles, responsi- bilities and actions — working together to manage and operate the system in a manner that is more consistent with democratic norms and sound prin- ciples of good governance, and thus contributes to a well-functioning secu- rity framework”.

Clearly, religion is a vital factor in private and public life in Sierra Leone. (...) At the same time, there seems to be general agreement that education, including educational programmes specifically catering for women and girls, is the key factor in all attempts to overcome existing gender-related discrimination and harmful practices. (...) Whereas in many other countries, religious difference has become an aggravating factor of fragmentation and conflict escalation, in Sierra Leone religion has helped to unite — or rather reunite — the nation.
