GivingTracker| USA Today delivers an excellent story on US aid to Pakistan. Not only does the US government want more credit and acknowledgement for the aid it’s delivering into Pakistan, but concerned Americans want the recognition of American foreign aid.

Yet, mum’s the word for vast amounts of US aid that is given to international aid groups via NGOs. Frequently on the ground in places like Pakistan, NGOs argue that American money is tainted money, inviting attacks by the Taliban on groups and villages that accept American aid.
