Where did it go wrong?

Article Abstract:

A survey is conducted to find the amount the three major aid donors such as World Bank, the United Nations ChildrenEs Fund (UNICEF) and the US Agency for International Development (USAID) have spent on the anti-malaria programs. The concerned authorities and the legislation should take action and find out the reasons behind the failure of their performances.
