The Citizen’s Guide to the Accountability Mechanism of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) is designed to help give local communities affected by OPIC-supported projects a voice in the development process. The OPIC Board of Directors created the Accountability Mechanism in 2004 as part of a broader Accountability and Advisory Mechanism (AAM). The Accountability Mechanism receives from local communities complaints relating to environmental, social, human rights, and labor impacts of OPIC-supported projects. This Guide simplifies the complaint process by gathering in one place all information needed to file a complaint relating to these impacts.
