"Should an international organization assume all its clients are going to be honest or does it set systems in place that let them know the difference? Haiti became a kleptocracy because organizations like the World Bank kept giving."
Soooooooooo easy to say. Didn't you hear of all the protest and pressure to obtain swift disbursement procedures from foreign donors (in the name of the poors of course, or of "pacification"…). The chant was the same from Artistide's, Latortue's and Preval 2's regimes. And it will get louder considering the historically high percentage of public spendings that is expected from foreign aid (did I hear someone say sovereignty and independence?).
