I think it depends on what country it is and what interests the US and other big powers have in that country.

Alot of african countries have been undergoing decades of civil war and they don't get much funds from the US. If you look at Europe's reconstruction after WWII and IRAQ's reconstruction process now, those have become hotbeds of development only because those regions either have a resource thats important(oil) or they somehow provide a strategic advantage.

The same thing would not happen in Congo for example cuz the US doesn't give a shit about that country to send funds for reconstruction/development-> thus no private contracts
