These funds weren't mismanaged by any Haitian Government. They have been spent on floats, R&Rs, per diem, exuberant accommodation, expensive country allowances, at-risk countries allowances, chauffeured vehicles and so on, by the various "relief" organizations here. I have worked in the field and then in HR for a major player here, I know what I am talking about. And whenever the donors would visit and they don't have shit to show for the money spent, they would blame it on "the challenging context" of Haiti. After which, they would hire a foreign consultant for 400£/day to investigate the reasons of the failure. Then all of that is compiled as a Programme Learning Document to send to Home Office abroad. I have been accommodated in all the fancy hotels in the country thanks to that job, but I never understood the point of all the frequent clusters meetings when each programme was close to failure.
