Zero Accountability

There are a significant amount of resources and funds going into the Relief Effort of the Swat, Dir and Buner IDP's. Funds coming in from different Nations, various national and international organizations and even from our own government but there is no way of knowing how most of it is being utilized. No Black and White picture of what is required for the IDP's and what things are being provided, to what areas and to what percentile of the affected. I am afraid that this might prove to be a shining opportunity for the corrupt personnel; and the resources that should be going into helping the ones in need might go into further lining the already some quite well lined pockets, With zero accountability and zero transparency of the whole process of fund collection and utilization this is inevitable. If only there was a centralized, reliable way of disposing of these funds then a lot of the problems being faced can be solved such as equitable distribution of the right kind of aid and keeping corruption in check by implementing timely audits.
