> The biggest issue of all of the foreign aid is corruption.

The biggest problem is the concept of aid because it is not resilient to corruption. The economy needs to factor in the outside environment, otherwise we're doomed. CO2 certificates are a good start but they need to be correctly priced and more is needed. Probably something like negatively priced Forest certificates that the country and the people can profit from by keeping the forest every year in a good state. The same problem but with a richer country exists in Brazil.
