In Afghanistan, a coalition of charities on the ground says a large part of international aid is being wasted and exploited for donor gain. In a new report, the Agency Co-ordinating Body for Afghan Relief, known as ACBAR, says as much as 40 percent of aid to Afghanistan is being sent back to donor countries in the form of corporate profits and consultant salaries. Some foreign contractors in Afghanistan make as much as half a million dollars per year. The average consultant salary is $200,000, 200 times the annual take of an Afghan civil servant. The report also faults donor countries for failing to meet their pledged donations. The Bush administration has disbursed only half its $10.4 billion commitment to Afghanistan.
