Some of the more politically charged complaints certainly come from those who have an interest in using the existing structures, but from what I've read, other presumably objective observers are somewhat baffled as well, because (a) apparently, the existing aid organizations actually do this stuff pretty well, and (b) for conservatives who wail about scandalous waste in international aid and development efforts, setting up parallel organizations is at best a counterintuitive means to that end.
