about, you know, influence of drug trafficking in this country, corruption in various arms of the government over the years. is that an i mean, is there anyone investigating that here on the ground, in terms of international groups, or are they tracking where i m not talking about right now, the new money, i m talking about the money they have been given. are they tracking, one central international group that is tracking it? no, what you have is different groups tracking groups in general, particularly professional ones and multilateral organizations really try to track their own projects very effectively. indeed, there is a warehouse of documents here in washington, d.c., in new york, of various relief agencies and international organizations, about the outcomes of their aid projects in haiti. so, it has really been very difficult to develop a central source. i think this is an area where the united nations could perhaps play a much more dominant role in the coming months. th
where all this money is going. there are some successes, some areas were aid has been quite effective, but at the macro level, clearly it failed to achieve any sort of sustainable development for the country. so, if a lot of money is going to ngos and the u.n., i mean, i have never understood in these countries, people drive around in brand new vehicles. i have never seen so many brand new, clean, gleaming white land rovers in my life in places like haiti and congo. are they spending a lot of money? they are spending a lot of money. haiti is considered to be an unstable environment and you have a lot of money spent on security for buildings and for vehicles, another important element. what i think international aid has contributed to in haiti is the emergence of a dual economy, where there is the actual economy, people live on $2 a day or less, struggling to get by and a parallel economy where international aid workers work. many do do good projects but the fact is they operate on
