In the discussion, Olakunle Alonge outlines some examples of strategies which were hugely successful in the short term in alleviating challenges in implementing surveillance in insecure setting, but worked to threaten the system in the long term.

Can you think or other similar examples? What do you think are some ways to mitigate the long-term problems that are created from such strategies?

Please take a moment to post your thoughts in the discussion.
