US taxpayer billions flow through USAID for projects in Vietnam and elsewhere

USAID has shown it's just another vehicle to dole out US taxpayer dollars to anyone and everyone, no questions asked.

3/26/12, "U.S. to Fund Vietnam 'Clean-Energy' Initiative," tradeaidmonitor.com

"The Government of Vietnam will receive U.S. assistance in carrying out clean energy development
in that nation, a measure that the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) says will help the Obama Administration to execute its global "climate change" policies. 
 
The March 23 presolicitation notice (Solicitation #486-12-020), which U.S. Trade & Aid Monitor located via a routine search of the FedBizOpps database, says that the main goal of the Vietnam Clean Energy Program, or VCEP, is to:
support clean energy development through the increased use of renewable energy technologies and energy efficiency practices, and by providing support to the Government of Vietnam for the design of its Low Emission Development Strategy.
Three specific objectives of VCEP, according to the document, are to:
  • Enhance capacity to acquire, manage, analyze, and use energy sector data in decision making
  • Increase energy efficiency in high energy use sectors
  • Increase investment in and piloting of renewable energy technologies.
USAID will provide further details of the endeavor upon release of a formal solicitation at a later, unspecified date.

The agency did not reveal the project's estimated cost.

=====================

USAID facilitates funneling of US taxpayer dollars to UN cronies who spend it on whatever they want such as renovating their guest houses (article below). In the following article, USAID refused to reveal names of UN criminals:

"Federal prosecutors in New York City were forced to drop criminal and civil cases because the U.N. officials have immunity,"...

4/16/09, "
Report: U.N. spent U.S. funds on shoddy projects," USA Today, Ken Dilanian

"
Two United Nations agencies spent millions in U.S. money on substandard Afghanistan construction projects, including a central bank without electricity and a bridge at risk of "life threatening" collapse, according to an investigation by U.S. federal agents.
The U.N. ran a "quick impact" infrastructure program from 2003 to 2006 under a $25 million grant from the U.S. Agency for International Development. The U.N. delivered shoddy work, diverted money to other countries and then stonewalled U.S. efforts to figure out what happened,
  • according to a report by USAID's inspector general
obtained by USA TODAY under the Freedom of Information Act.

"Due to the refusal of the United Nations to cooperate with this investigation, questions remain unanswered," the report says. 

Federal prosecutors in New York City were forced to drop criminal and civil cases because the U.N. officials have immunity, according to the report. USAID has scaled back its dealings with the U.N. and hired a collection agency to seek $7.6 million back, Deputy Administrator James Bever said. The aid agency hasn't heeded its inspector general's request to sever all ties.
  • "There are certain cases where working with the U.N. is the only option available," Bever said in an e-mail....
One U.N. employee told investigators that "about $10 million of USAID grant money went to projects in other countries, to include Sudan, Haiti, Sri Lanka and Dubai." That witness said the Afghanistan country director for the U.N. Office for Project Services (UNOPS), which served as the contractor on the project for the U.N. Development Program (UNDP), spent about $200,000 in U.S. money
  • to renovate his guesthouse.
