Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"One of the world’s most influential global investigative news organizations, whose work has regularly produced political shockwaves, has been primarily funded since its launch by the United States government, according to a review of budget documents, audit reports, and interviews with its founder and government funders.</p><p>In the world of investigative journalism, the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) is a known quantity: a nonprofit news outlet backed by civic-minded philanthropists—a ProPublica, but for global corruption. “Investigative reporting has to be a global phenomenon. It takes a network to fight a network of corruption. And OCCRP is that network,” said Drew Sullivan, co-founder and head of OCCRP. "It's the most important investigative reporting organization you've never heard of.”</p><p>What has thus far been obscured from the public is the magnitude of its government funding and the strings attached to it. OCCRP’s founding and most generous donor, the one responsible for a majority of the organization’s budget, is the government of the United States and within the government, the largest donor is USAID—the U.S. Agency for International Development."</p><p><a href="https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/occrp-budget-funding-us-government-usaid" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">dropsitenews.com/p/occrp-budge</span><span class="invisible">t-funding-us-government-usaid</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Journalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Journalism</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/InvestigativeJournalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InvestigativeJournalism</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USAID" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USAID</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Propaganda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Propaganda</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Reporting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Reporting</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/OCCRP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OCCRP</span></a></p>
