Postcard from Haiti: Life After the 2010 Quake
"The $9 billion that was disbursed to NGOs and other intermediaries in a period of twenty-seven months has been spent largely without consultation of local Haitians. Almost no one we interviewed had been contacted by members of the foreign assistance community to discuss local needs. Due to a fears about security, a strongly-held perception of lack of local capacity, and the need to disburse money quickly, international NGOs have set up programs and carried out construction projects that are often at odds with local needs, and sometimes harmful in the longer-term."
