If I can’t
afford it, I educate the boy first because after school he can
come back and help me. Girls get married after school so they
can help.

Health involves

absence of disease and disability.
[World Health Organisation] |
|
Amongst other things social well being involves making political decisions
about what matters in your life and about feeling protected by the forces of law
and order. There has been a lot of progress in this over the last three years
and more is planned.
The Government has become more open about what it is doing and more willing
to listen to what ordinary people say.
|
Ordinary people can now find out what the Government is
doing with its money and go to public meetings to decide what Government
policy should be. |
|
The newspapers, radio and television are keeping ordinary
people informed about what is going on. |
|
There are many civil society organisations to champion
particular causes. |
|
Local authorities will get more power to decide what they
think is best for their regions through the Local Government Reform
Programme. |
When it comes to law and order people need to feel safe to walk the streets,
to have ready access to the courts and to know that the Government system is
efficient, fair and transparent. Plans are therefore being made for the
following activities at the local level.
