The crocodile

The crocodile in the lake. Donors are a lake, offering a reservoir of funds from which African and economically disadvantaged nations like Malawi can seek financial assistance. Although their support may not always come in the form of direct monetary aid, they often provide essential resources like food, similar to the lake's provision of fish. However, it's crucial to recognize that within this lake, there are also some predators such as crocodiles. Similarly, within donor funding, the presence of corruption and embezzlement by administrators is a constant concern, as the funds are readily available and susceptible to misuse.
