Africans worst responders to Ebola crisis

This frank article continues here.
It is one thing to pledge help and another thing altogether to actually help.

I had an interesting conversation with a new aquaintance yesterday who I met when I argued with him on his blog.
He is American and went to Africa to invest in and manage small mines. He would not tell me where he is or what he is mining. I think that is typical and smart.
Anyway, he said there is much dishonesty and much stealing, and there is a lot of backlash from colonialism.

After the colonies became independent countries, this acquaintance said, the IMF came in and forced financial reforms as a condition of lending development money, but that the reforms only smoothed the money path from the elite bankers of the world into the pockets of each country's business and political elite, mainly, and as I have read here and there, the money that has been made with the investments in African has been kept pretty much inside the pockets of the elites. Some of them get to drive nice Toyotas.

So how can money be deployed now to help not only Ebola patients and families, but to ensure that it is used to create and maintain sustainable community-based health care systems that work for the people?
