Congressional Oversight Initiative

POGO's Congressional Oversight Initiative supports and enhances Congress's ability to conduct effective oversight. We offer trainings, an expert network of veteran former investigators, and hundreds of informational resources for congressional oversight staff. This nonpartisan initiative uses POGO's unique expertise to bring Democratic and Republican staff together for trainings and other events with experts from both parties.
