[quote=Anonymous][quote=redquasar]For those of you who work in some capacity either directly with US Aid or NGO receiving funding from US Aid... how much real good was happening and how much grift/waste ?  So hard to triangulate to get the real facts and certainly cannot rely on Elon, Fox, NYT, or CNN for truth.. [/quote]

If you organize a party, buy food, party supplies, most of it will get used and some of it will be redundant. Your party will still be a success because you delivered and met your goal. In any event, any party, any cause, there is often a small amount of redundancy or waste. That is a natural phenomenon. But you don't say because you had some redundancy and wastage in your party, you won't throw a party ever again. USAID causes are at a very high, global level, often happening in highly volatile political environments of poor nations. Even then, the programs have delivered value, helped stop spread of diseases, protected women from rapes, reduced childbirth deaths and so on. The idea is to look at 98% of good and appreciate it.
