  • Key Data: 45% of respondents reported long travel times to the nearest clinic; 60% expressed dissatisfaction with mental health support services.
• Employment Needs Example:
  • Identified Needs: High unemployment rates, particularly among youth, lack of job training opportunities, and mismatch between job skills and market demand.
  • Impact: Economic insecurity, increased poverty levels, and social unrest.
  • Key Data: 50% of young adults (ages 18–25) reported difficulty finding jobs; 40% of employers cited skills gaps in the local workforce.
