Policy Inefficiency

Policy inefficiency occurs when a government or organization implements a policy that does not achieve its intended outcomes or does so at an unnecessarily high cost. This can happen due to a variety of reasons, such as poor planning, lack of proper data, or unforeseen consequences. Essentially, it means that resources—like time, money, and effort—are not being used effectively, leading to wasted opportunities and suboptimal results. To improve policy efficiency, it's crucial to assess and refine strategies based on evidence and feedback.
