Description
Aid agencies aim to do good; those providing medicines for fatal diseases literally save lives. But there is a constant tension between the desire to provide immediate help and the long-run dependence that develops. Recipient governments and the donors of the medicines become addicted to aid, since for many it is their livelihood. This means that agencies perpetuate aid even when they know it is not particularly effective. Many aid agencies purchase medicines, some of them in significant amounts. Take malaria: in 2009, the U.S. government's President's Malaria Initiative (PMI) bought 29 million treatments. The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria (GFATM) had acquired 90 million treatment courses for sub-Saharan Africa alone over the same period. (1) In other words, the two largest agencies annually procure about 120 million treatments of the best antimalarial medicines, primarily for use in Africa. (2)
