Explanation:
Development is a multidimensional phenomenon. A single intervention has its limitations, especially when so much needs to be done. While it is important to understand the various linkages and interconnections between development challenges, one has to demarcate what an intervention can and cannot do. A polio-eradication intervention, for example, may help limit the disease but may not completely eliminate it. Elimination may require an inclusive, multi-sectoral approach including the provision of better sanitation, preventive education etc.
Similarly, while benefiting the intended population, the intervention may also throw up a new set of problems and challenges. For example, improvements in household sanitation require people to store water in overhead tanks. But, these can in turn lead to the spread of mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue. Therefore, while sanitation improves, the risk of malaria may go up. So the linkages and the limitations of development intervention need to be kept in mind.
