Problems at the implementation stage of development

Answer Text:
Problems at the implementation stage
i. Over reliance on donor funding, which if they don’t receive, the plan may not be implemented
ii. Lack of domestic resources such as skilled personnel, finance and capital may make the implementation a problem
iii. Failure to involve the local people in planning.
This will make them not to be willing to implement it, for they will not be understanding it or rebelling for the fact that they were not included
iv. Natural calamities such as diseases, floods, drought, etc may make the funds that had been set aside for implementation be diverted to curb them
v. Over-ambitious plans which are a times just made to impress the donors to release their funds but may not be easy to implement
vi. Lack of co-operation among the executing parties which may make the work not to kick off. For example a conflict between the ministry of finance and that of
planning of the amount to be released
vii. Inflation which may make the estimated value of implementation not to be adequate, bringing a problem of finances
viii. Lack of political will and commitment in implementing the plan. This may frustrate the implementation.
