Somalia

USAID plans to give $4M to UNDP to promote "governance and security in Somalia", despite evidence of rampant fraud, corrupt contracting, and financial support for a Somali business tied to Al-Qaeda.    After a UNDP whistleblower alerted UNDP officials of the fraud and mismanagement, the whistleblower was terminated and UNDP went back to business as usual in Somalia.  

• USAID's press release on its aid to Somalia.
• UNDP Somalis gives money to Al-Qaeda linked entities.
• UNDP's retaliation of whistleblower
• Press report questions UNDP's lack of credibility in Somalia.
