區塊鏈可以成為人道主義援助的新保障嗎？

持續的謠言激起了華盛頓：國際援助的支柱美國國際開發署可能會在特朗普顧問的影響下變形。

A persistent rumor has been stirring in Washington since Monday: USAID, the pillar of international assistance, could be undergoing a metamorphosis.

自周一以來，華盛頓持續的謠言一直在激動：國際援助的支柱USAID可能正在發生變形。

According to information gleaned by Cointribune, Trump advisors are proposing to inject a dose of crypto into the agency's bureaucratic veins. The stated goal is clear: to track every dollar, put an end to leaks, and redefine transparency. A bold shift that combines technological innovation and political calculation.

根據Cointribune收集的信息，特朗普顧問提議將一劑加密貨幣注入該機構的官僚靜脈。既定的目標很明確：跟踪每一美元，結束洩漏並重新定義透明度。結合技術創新和政治計算的大膽轉變。

Structural reform under the sign of crypto

加密人物的結構改革

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) might soon take on a new name – United States Agency for International Humanitarian Assistance – and a new roadmap.

美國國際發展機構（USAID）可能很快就會採用新名稱 - 美國國際人道主義援助機構和新路線圖。

This institutional transformation, which would place the agency under the direct supervision of the Secretary of State, is part of a broader administrative reform launched by the Trump administration in January.

這種機構轉型將把該機構置於國務卿的直接監督下，是特朗普政府在一月份進行的更廣泛的行政改革的一部分。

As part of this initiative, an internal document leaked to the press mentions the surprising integration of blockchain technology.

作為該計劃的一部分，媒體洩露的內部文件提到了區塊鏈技術的令人驚訝的整合。

"The administration plans to use the technology to 'secure and trace the distributions' of aid funds, rendering each transaction permanent in a digital ledger that cannot be altered," reports the CCIV.

CCIV報告說：“政府計劃使用該技術來'確保和追踪援助資金的分配，從而使每筆交易在數字分類帳中永久性。”

This would involve recording every fund transfer in real-time and rendering each step immutable, from Washington to the final beneficiaries. Blockchain would act as a virtual notary, validating each stage of the operation.

這將涉及實時記錄每個基金轉移，並渲染從華盛頓到最終受益人的每一步。區塊鏈將充當虛擬公證人，驗證操作的每個階段。

This promises a revolution for programs that are often undermined by corruption or become the subject of rumors of inefficiency. However, this ambition contrasts with the complex reality on the ground.

這有望為經常因腐敗而破壞或成為效率低下的謠言的計劃而進行革命。但是，這種野心與地面上的複雜現實形成鮮明對比。

In January, USAID had to suspend its payments due to a legal setback linked to a lawsuit filed by a seafood importer against the "Clean Carbage" program, which aimed to reduce food waste in Southeast Asia.

一月份，美國國際開發署（USAID）由於與海鮮進口商針對“清潔貨車”計劃提起的訴訟有關的法律挫折不得不暫停付款，該計劃旨在減少東南亞的食物浪費。

The suspension of payments, which began on January 11, had a significant impact on ongoing projects. Seafood importer Northeast Seafood had sued the administration over a trade dispute, leading to a ruling that forced the government to suspend most foreign assistance payments.

從1月11日開始的付款中止，對正在進行的項目產生了重大影響。海鮮進口商東北海鮮已起訴政府就貿易爭端起訴，導致裁定迫使政府中止大多數外國援助付款。

The administration was attempting to restructure the agency with the help of the Government Efficiency Department (DOGE), an entity that is curiously said to be "managed by Elon Musk."

政府試圖在政府效率部（DOGE）的幫助下重組該機構，該實體奇怪地說“由埃隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk）管理”。

This unexpected partnership highlights the alliance between techno-utopianism and political pragmatism that is driving this initiative. It remains to be seen whether the marriage between bureaucracy and crypto will withstand the realities on the ground and the legal setbacks.

這種意想不到的伙伴關係強調了推動這一倡議的技術 - 烏托邦主義與政治實用主義之間的聯盟。官僚主義與加密貨幣之間的婚姻是否會承受地面上的現實和法律挫折，還有待觀察。

Transparency or technological mirage?

透明度還是技術幻影？

Beyond the promises of traceability, the issues at stake are far thornier. Can crypto really serve to clean up humanitarian aid, as some hope?

除了可追溯性的承諾之外，危及的問題還很棘手。加密可以真正地清理人道主義援助，作為某些希望嗎？

The immutability of records could certainly deter misappropriation, and the anonymity of beneficiaries, often a point of contention, would be safeguarded. However, it poses a paradox in terms of transparency.

記錄的不變性肯定會阻止盜用，而受益人的匿名性通常會受到爭議。但是，它在透明度方面構成了悖論。

Moreover, the stability of crypto, often subject to volatility, will need to be proved in a sector where every penny counts and programs are closely scrutinized.

此外，通常需要在每個一分錢的計數和計劃都經過嚴格審查的領域中證明加密貨幣的穩定性。

This initiative also reveals the Trump administration's bet on a disruptive effect to restore the image of an agency that is frequently criticized for its cumbersome nature and lack of agility.

這項倡議還揭示了特朗普政府對顛覆性效力的押注，以恢復經常因其繁瑣的性質和缺乏敏捷性而受到批評的機構形象。

But this modernization also hides a desire for increased control. By placing USAID under the aegis of the Department of State, Washington would centralize the management of aid, blending diplomacy and assistance. A risk of politicization, according to some NGOs, who are already warning against any instrumentalization of funds.

但是，這種現代化也掩蓋了人們對增加控制的願望。通過將美國國際開發署置於國務院的宙斯盾之下，華盛頓將集中援助管理，融合外交和援助。一些非政府組織的說法，他們已經警告任何資金工具化的風險。

Finally, the technical question remains. The most vulnerable regions, which often lack digital infrastructure, could be excluded from this system.

最後，技術問題仍然存在。最脆弱的區域通常缺乏數字基礎架構，可以排除在該系統之外。

Training local actors, securing crypto wallets, or even ensuring access to the internet would become essential prerequisites. A colossal challenge that would demand additional investments.

培訓當地演員，確保加密錢包，甚至確保訪問互聯網將成為必不可少的先決條件。一個巨大的挑戰，需要額外的投資。
