Accountability -- The Future of Humanitarian Aid 
 
International aid organizations provide food, medications and hope for millions but how many refugees actually received aid? How much was lost, stolen or simply left behind?

A trucker picks up a full load of food and medications, sells half of it and delivers the other half.

A mother was separated from her child in the confusion. How can they find each other?
 
Elections are held for the first time in a region. How can you ensure that each person votes only once and that each vote is counted?

How can we ensure that governments are getting their full revenue from tariffs, duties and sales of imports and exports at their ports and borders?
 
How Can We Quantify Success?
 
“It's about supporting people to identify their own solutions, and teaching them how toadvocate for the adoption and implementation of those solutions. It's about   empowering them, supporting their ideas, providing the right tools -and appropriate incentives- to support their leadership and responsibility to sustain further progress on their own. This, I believe, is what United States foreign assistance must be all about. 
 
A final key element of this new approach is accountability. Continuing financial supportmust depend on results. We will fund programs that produce results. We will not fund those that don't.
   -- Director of U.S. Foreign Assistance, and Administrator of USAID, May 15, 2006
 
Using ICB Solutions will provide the quantitative data needed to prove how successful programs are.  Institutions providing grant money and financial aid will know that   funds are being spent wisely.  Those successful programs can then be expanded and grown to educate communities on how to flourish on their own.   Having access to real time information will help ensure that all aid programs are as efficient and effective as possible.
