Analytically, the section addresses set up the problem, context, research objective, and article trajectory ((Kiendrébéogo et al., 2024)) ³. Outline guidance for this section is: State the core problem around Gender-Based Violence as a Political Issue: Policy Responses in Conflict-Affected States: Fiscal Dimensions and Revenue Implications; explain why it matters in Equatorial Guinea; define the article objective; preview the structure ((Pattanshetty et al., 2024)).
