UN Dispatch: US Aid Reshuffling on Haiti Shows the Need for a Contingency Disaster Fund for Humanitarian Relief
Thu, 02/04/2010 - 01:00By Mark Leon Goldberg
The Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) is the lead American agency on humanitarian relief efforts like the one underway in Haiti. The problem is, it is just one office within the relatively small U.S. Agency for International Development. When an unexpected crisis like the one in Haiti hits, this small office gets stretched pretty thin.
