区块链可以成为人道主义援助的新保障吗？

持续的谣言激起了华盛顿：国际援助的支柱美国国际开发署可能会在特朗普顾问的影响下变形。

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

自周一以来，华盛顿持续的谣言一直在激动：国际援助的支柱USAID可能正在发生变形。

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.

根据Cointribune收集的信息，特朗普顾问提议将一剂加密货币注入该机构的官僚静脉。既定的目标很明确：跟踪每一美元，结束泄漏并重新定义透明度。结合技术创新和政治计算的大胆转变。

Structural reform under the sign of crypto

加密人物的结构改革

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.

美国国际发展机构（USAID）可能很快就会采用新名称 - 美国国际人道主义援助机构和新路线图。

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.

这种机构转型将把该机构置于国务卿的直接监督下，是特朗普政府在一月份进行的更广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.

作为该计划的一部分，媒体泄露的内部文件提到了区块链技术的令人惊讶的整合。

"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报告说：“政府计划使用该技术来'确保和追踪援助资金的分配，从而使每笔交易在数字分类帐中永久性。”

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.

这将涉及实时记录每个基金转移，并渲染从华盛顿到最终受益人的每一步。区块链将充当虚拟公证人，验证操作的每个阶段。

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.

这有望为经常因腐败而破坏或成为效率低下的谣言的计划而进行革命。但是，这种野心与地面上的复杂现实形成鲜明对比。

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，美国国际开发署（USAID）由于与海鲜进口商针对“清洁货车”计划提起的诉讼有关的法律挫折不得不暂停付款，该计划旨在减少东南亚的食物浪费。

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.

从1月11日开始的付款中止，对正在进行的项目产生了重大影响。海鲜进口商东北海鲜已起诉政府就贸易争端起诉，导致裁定迫使政府中止大多数外国援助付款。

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."

政府试图在政府效率部（DOGE）的帮助下重组该机构，该实体奇怪地说“由埃隆·马斯克（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.

这种意想不到的伙伴关系强调了推动这一倡议的技术 - 乌托邦主义与政治实用主义之间的联盟。官僚主义与加密货币之间的婚姻是否会承受地面上的现实和法律挫折，还有待观察。

Transparency or technological mirage?

透明度还是技术幻影？

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

除了可追溯性的承诺之外，危及的问题还很棘手。加密可以真正地清理人道主义援助，作为某些希望吗？

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.

记录的不变性肯定会阻止盗用，而受益人的匿名性通常会受到争议。但是，它在透明度方面构成了悖论。

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，通常需要在每个一分钱的计数和计划都经过严格审查的领域中证明加密货币的稳定性。

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.

这项倡议还揭示了特朗普政府对颠覆性效力的押注，以恢复经常因其繁琐的性质和缺乏敏捷性而受到批评的机构形象。

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，这种现代化也掩盖了人们对增加控制的愿望。通过将美国国际开发署置于国务院的宙斯盾之下，华盛顿将集中援助管理，融合外交和援助。一些非政府组织的说法，他们已经警告任何资金工具化的风险。

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

最后，技术问题仍然存在。最脆弱的区域通常缺乏数字基础架构，可以排除在该系统之外。

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.

培训当地演员，确保加密钱包，甚至确保访问互联网将成为必不可少的先决条件。一个巨大的挑战，需要额外的投资。
