"Corruption
Political corruption is a common problem in Haiti.

The country has consistently ranked as one of the most corrupt nations according to the Corruption Perceptions Index, a measure of perceived political corruption.

In 2006, Haiti was ranked as the most corrupt nation out of the 163 that were surveyed for the Index.

Haiti's Ports:
"Some of Haiti's economic woes can be blamed on political incompetence.

Attempts to regulate the country's notoriously corrupt ports have led to long delays, with customs officials leaving countless containers of food to rot in the sun rather than releasing them for distribution.

But the crisis also stems from Haiti's unique vulnerability to international financial turmoil.

Haitians import three quarters of their food and all their oil, while sending 80% of their exports to US markets, so the conjunction of high global commodity prices and the US economic downturn have hit the country hard."Source:

""Donated Food Rots in Haiti's Ports" is shocking and infuriating, considering that starving Haitians must resort to mud cookies in order to survive.

I wonder if this also happens in other Third World countries.

This only means one thing: Besides giving food, donor nations and organizations need to ensure that donated food be distributed properly and not be wasted.

Though it seems the distribution process should be the sole responsibility of the receiving country, Haiti's example shows that the donor country or organization can't rely on this. One possible solution is for the donor country or organization to require that the donated food be delivered directly to distribution centers.

These distribution centers could be run by the receiving country, by charitable or religious groups or by the donating country or organization itself.

Donated food must reach not just the ports of the receiving country, but its destination: the hungry people they are meant to help."
