Media Reports Question Accountability at OPIC

A series of media reports came out this week calling attention to the lack of accountability at the U.S. Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC). The relatively unknown agency handles an $18 billion development portfolio and its operations have faced little scrutiny until recently. One report highlights Accountability Counsel’s case in Liberia, where an OPIC-funded project resulted in human, labor, and environmental rights abuses. Other reports also identified serious institutional and operational problems at OPIC, including an article on our case in Mexico and another on the need for increased oversight over the agency’s operations.Learn more about our work with the communities in Liberia and in Mexico.Read about our advocacy efforts involving OPIC here.
