About this organization
Mission
The Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is a nonpartisan independent watchdog that investigates and exposes waste, corruption, abuse of power, and when the government fails to serve the public or silences those who report wrongdoing. We champion reforms to achieve a more effective, ethical, and accountable federal government that safeguards constitutional principles.
About
Ethical, effective and accountable government: This project's investigations are aimed at making the federal government more effective, accountable, open, and ethical. POGO seeks to improve oversight throughout the federal government by promoting policy changes as well as pushing to strengthen oversight structures. This work is intended to prevent the abuse of taxpayer dollars and the betrayal of the public's trust.
