The UN Food Program recently released their plan for how they would spend $6 Billion that could potentially be donated by Elon Musk but do they deserve the opportunity to continue tackling this persistent problem?
Are there goals set and what happens if the UN fails to meet them?
When it comes to aid and charity do we ever really know where our money is going? In an age where an organization can publically call out any of the nation's global elite with a few keystrokes what are the responsibilities of humanitarian organizations.
Demands of the Elite Companies Require Results on the other End
If Elon gives this money to the UN, the organization should be expected to deliver results in the same way a space X or Tesla would.
What scourges will the UNFP eliminate, how will they revolutionize aid, and will the world actually look different in any after this money is donated? Money has a way of disappearing in the massive machine that is international development and aid. Too often we dump money into the bottomless hole of international emergencies and global conflicts but the pockets that get lined far outnumber the number of mouths being fed.
Initial thoughts on the subject
My opinion is that forensic accountants should be assigned to a project of this size because there are probably a couple of hundred corrupt officials rubbing their hands together waiting for that "aid". If we are going to demand more from our innovative companies we have to make sure that our agencies and leadership are just as innovative and forward-thinking as their civilian companies. Is there room for innovation and partnership as governments become dwarfed by multinationals?
What are your thoughts on the current situation with international aid and the growing influence of billionaires/ multinationals?
