    The biggest issue involves the logistics on the ground, and in places with extremely high food insecurity, there tends to be little to no legitimate government, and so getting anything done involves dealing with local gangs and warlords. It doesn’t matter how much money you have if every shipment you send will just be stolen at gunpoint and sold to fund the local thug’s next golden toilet. This is not a problem that can really be solved by throwing money at it.

      … You could fund your own local gang to take over and do your bidding.

        CIA tried doing that, it didn’t go too well. Probably just a skill issue I’m sure

        That’s proven to be both unpopular and often having unintended side effects.
