But their governments generally leave donor countries and international financial institutions with three bad options: rely on leaky government channels for disbursement, risking that funds don’t reach the people in need; maintain exclusive control over funding decisions, inviting criticism of foreign influence; or refuse assistance altogether, abandoning people in need. In each case, the public loses. This month, the World Bank, United Nations, and European Union announced an innovative model for disbursing aid to Lebanon that seeks to solve that conundrum.
