18. SYNTHESIS
For us, the root cause of the problems within the country starts with the lack of discipline and of quality education available
for everyone including the marginalized. It would only be solved given an Evidence-based action plan backed up by multiple
researches. However, due to the lack of funds for research facilities within the country; production of quality evidence-based
action plan would be nearly impossible considering the current perspective of the government regarding researches. Hence,
the lack of funds due to unawareness with the importance of research for a more holistic approach within the government
officials. In conclusion, the government would be able to holistically improve the quality of life of the community if they would
be educated enough regarding the importance of evidence-based action plans and provide funds to education, health, and
research rather than politicizing everything which is a common theme within the country.
