AFRO-NETS is about malaria (24)
-------------------------------

Jeff,

I agree with you on some points, when I spoke of experts, I mean
people who understand mosquitoes (anemologists) people who have
actually done these things which would be in charge. It goes
without saying that if you have bureaucracy running any project
telling the people who know how, how to do the project you will
have chaos and inefficiency. When we build a building we don't
have politicians or doctors telling the engineers and skilled
labor force how to do the work. This is what I meant by keeping
everyone else out of it. Which is exactly why I don't believe
agencies like the UN etc. can get the job done. They micro man-
age things to death. They burn up most of the money with sur-
veys, meetings, and such nonsense and after a year or two of
that the money is gone and the people keep on dying.

The private sector however is not like that, they expect results
for their money they spend, and rightfully so. The private sec-
tor is always more efficient than any government or bureaucracy.
What does it take to do a mosquito project? If a government
gives permission for an independent to do the project he comes
and does it. What could be more simple than that?

We need to understand that government cannot solve our problems
for us and we should not expect them to do so. What we should
expect is that government will make it possible for us to solve
our own problems. Which I believe is what you were eluding to. I
don't think that we have the same definition of transparency so
I will leave it at that.

I think it is possible for a bureaucracy to do things but it
takes a lot longer and costs a lot more.
