استحقاق

English translation: faced with two main challenges

Social Sciences - Government / Politics
Arabic term or phrase: استحقاق
I had understood استحقاق as usually meaning something like 'entitlement', but that doesn't make sense here. The author is Algerian. Just from context, I would have said that "needs" or "pressing needs" might work.

بدأت بوادر انفراج الأزمتين الاقتصادية والأمنية مع انتخاب الرئيس عبد العزيز بوتفليقة كرئيس للجمهورية في 15 أبريل 1999. وكان هناك استحقاقين أساسيين أمام نظام بوتفليقة، الأول هو ضرورة الحفاظ على المكتسبات الاقتصادية التي تحققت في ظل برنامج التعديل الهيكلي ومواصلة الإصلاحات الاقتصادية والتجارية والمالية للحفاظ على هذه المكتسبات وتوفير الشروط اللازمة لاستمرارها. الاستحقاق الثاني هو ضرورة إيجاد حل للأزمة السياسية والأمنية القائمة، وذلك في حدود ما يسمح به التوازن داخل المجتمع وداخل مختلف الأجهزة.
وفي إطار هذين الاستحقاقين، تمثلت أهم محاور العمل خلال هذه المرحلة فيما يلي:

Ahmed's suggestions were also really good, but I think this way sounds the most natural in English, even if it is a less literal translation. Thanks to all!
