- Health – Access to affordable health services remains difficult for isolated and poor communities where medical facilities are rudimentary and essential medications are unaffordable. Strengthening is required in terms of public health governance, systems coordination and insurance coverage. Reliance on traditional remedies can be adverse for some conditions however this is not to undermine the certain potential for further research into scientific applications within pharmacology.
- Early and primary education - The government has made some effort to address issues of educational disadvantage for remote minority children but have generally lacked organisational solidarity to become sustainable. There is a disconnect between the different levels of government agencies which must unify their services in order to implement a smooth path of educational transition, particularly throughout early years of childhood development.
