Several reasons contribute to the persistence of ineffective interventions:
1. Lack of Evidence: Sometimes, interventions are implemented based on preliminary data or anecdotal evidence without rigorous scientific validation. 2. Resource Constraints: Limited resources can lead to shortcuts in planning and execution, compromising effectiveness. 3. Inadequate Monitoring and Evaluation: Without continuous monitoring and evaluation, it is difficult to ascertain whether an intervention is working as intended. 4. Resistance to Change: Institutional inertia and resistance to adopting new methodologies can perpetuate ineffective practices.
