What are the Challenges in Investing in Infrastructure?
Despite the clear benefits, several challenges can hinder investment in infrastructure:
1. Funding: Securing sufficient funding for infrastructure projects can be difficult, particularly in low-resource settings.
2. Political Will: Political support is essential for the allocation of resources and the implementation of infrastructure projects. In some cases, competing priorities may divert attention and funding away from public health infrastructure.
3. Maintenance and Sustainability: Once infrastructure is established, maintaining and updating it requires ongoing investment and management. Ensuring the sustainability of infrastructure projects is a continuous challenge.
