Fourty Percent of Afghan Aid Spent on Expats
Filed Under News
Too much money meant for Afghanistan aid is wasted, with a vast amount spent on foreign workers’ high salaries, security and living arrangements, according to a report from humanitarian groups published Tuesday.
And this:
The cost of a full-time expatriate consultant working in Afghanistan is around $250,000, according to the group. This is some 200 times the average annual salary of an Afghan civil servant, who is paid less than $1,000 per year, the report said.
And I couldn’t help wondering why anybody is surprised.
The full report is here.
