This week, the U.S. Agency for International Development, which oversees the funding, took a stab at answering that question. On Monday, the agency posted a notice [4] (.doc) on Grants.gov [5], the main Web site for government grants, asking for comments and suggestions on how to train Pakistani organizations, including government ministries, contractors and nongovernmental organizations.

"USAID’s past experience with local institutions indicates that many of these local organizations are faced with institutional capacity issues and overall weaknesses in their internal controls, financial management and absorptive capacity," reads the notice, leading to "a higher degree of risk and ultimately more audit recommendations."

Introduction
The activities and website of the Palestine Children's Welfare Fund (PCWF), an NGO based in the Gaza Strip, stand in strong contradiction to its humanitarian and moral goals. PCWF claims to be “non-political with purely humanitarian aspirations.” Its website proclaims “all individuals are welcome to join us and provide a helping hand to the children of Palestine and to give them a hope for a bright future full of promise and opportunities.” [www.pcwf.org]. The request for support notes “our donors and volunteers come from all walks of life and various faiths with the single goal of helping the innocent children of Palestine.”
