Despite its successes, the EDA faces several challenges, including:
1. Funding Limitations: The EDA's budget is limited, which can restrict the number of projects it can support. 2. Regulatory Hurdles: Complex regulations and bureaucratic processes can slow down the implementation of EDA-funded projects. 3. Measuring Impact: Quantifying the long-term impact of EDA investments can be challenging, making it difficult to assess the effectiveness of specific programs.
