"Graft" shouldn't need to be an unknown monetary amount missing from a bank account, especially for something like transporting things:
* Can they wear hidden cameras/microphones to get the amounts documented?
* Are they using local transport companies and staff or are they valiantly parading their bright white Hiluxes and Range Rovers as UN type orgs are prone to do, which attracts an undue amount of attention?
At some point the transport cost becomes a fixed cost of whatever that can at least be reported back to donors. Nobody donating to this type of cause expects transport to be a small number.
