POGO believes in transparency and accountability throughout the federal government. We work with whistleblowers and other inside sources, and access information through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), to shed light on the government's activities. Our goal is not only to expose problems, but also to propose solutions and work toward their implementation.

Projects

  • Center for Defense Information

    The Center for Defense Information at POGO aims to secure far more effective and ethical military forces at significantly lower cost.

  • The Constitution Project

    The Constitution Project at POGO works to combat the increasing partisan divide regarding our constitutional rights and liberties.

  • Congressional Oversight Initiative

    The Congressional Oversight Initiative at POGO enhances Congress's ability to conduct effective oversight through congressional trainings and hundreds of informational resources.
