#1 the government has been responsible for only 20 percent of the money spent, and most of that has been well managed

By 'well-managed' they must meen 'stolen'. They need to increase the government participation rate to 50%, since they see the writing on the walls that the US will leave soon and they had better hurry up and fill those Swiss bank accounts.

#2 I think the Afghan government has actually been impressed by the level of corruption found in NGOs. That is, while the Afghans would steal the fixtures, they've never met those so greedy that they scrape the paint off the walls, to sell to young children as candy.
