USAID has long been plagued by waste, corruption, and covert political meddling; the biggest scandal may be how little scrutiny it has faced, until now.

From Wkipedia:

USAID has faced criticism including its use of non-career contracts, instead of government employees, financial conflicts of interest, allegations of covert political operations, undue influence on UN Security Council votes through aid, requirements for NGO partners to oppose prostitution, and claims of involvement in forced sterilizations in the 1990s.
