    "Faltered" correctly serves as the verb: "it faltered due to..."
    "Accountability" fits as the noun after "lack of..."
    The rest of the sentence is already correct.
    Swapping B and D fixes the grammar and meaning.

    " Although the new initiative was designed to improve healthcare, it faltered due to poor implementation and lack of accountability from local authorities. "
