How much of this money WON'T be blown on worthless bureaucracy?

Vietnam to spend $143.6 mln on climate change program
Vietnam will set aside VND2.37 trillion (US$143.6 million) between 2009 and 2015 to address climate change, according to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment.

Under a national target program recently approved by Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung, the money, half from foreign funds, will be spent on assessing climate change impacts in Vietnam, identifying response strategies and developing a science technology program on the issue.

It will also be used to increase the capacity of organizations and institutions, raise awareness and develop human resources and action plans.
