Unlike what many people might think, donors are not naive. They are well aware that the funding they provide to support development projects in Africa is not always used as intended.
In fact, it is unfortunately common for these funds to be diverted and used for personal purposes, rather than being used to improve education, healthcare, and infrastructure in African communities.
This can be disappointing and frustrating for donors, who are often motivated by a desire to make a real difference in the world. But they are also aware that corruption and lack of transparency are common problems in many countries and organizations.
Therefore, they make an effort to inform themselves and carefully select the organizations and projects they decide to support. They put in place control and monitoring measures to ensure that funds are used responsibly and effectively.
In short, donors are not naive, but rather conscious and determined individuals looking to make a positive difference in the world, despite any obstacles that may come their way.
