GETTING STARTED
Welcome to OPIC’s Self-Monitoring Questionnaire (SMQ). As the U.S. Government’s development finance institution, OPIC takes its developmental mission seriously. The SMQ is an integral part of the OPIC monitoring and oversight function as it enables OPIC to collect data on the environmental, social, and long-term development impacts of each OPIC-supported project. Additionally, data collected in the SMQ are aggregated and used to satisfy OPIC’s U.S. Congressional reporting requirements.
OPIC’s Office of Investment Policy reviews each OPIC-supported project for its: 1) environmental, health, and safety risks; 2) labor-related risks; 3) impact on the U.S. economy and U.S. employment; and 4) development impact in the host country. For a description of OPIC’s Office of Investment Policy, please click here:
http://www.opic.gov/doing-business-us/OPIC-policies.
The SMQ must be completed on-line (click button below). To submit the SMQ on-line, you will be asked to enter the project type, contract number, and password. The OPIC contract number is provided annually in reminder e-mails sent to you by OPIC staff, and the password is created by each individual SMQ respondent. If you do not know your contract number, have forgotten your password, or encounter any other difficulties with the SMQ process, please e-mail the SMQ Helpdesk at SMQ@opic.gov.
Please answer all questions as completely as possible. If space is inadequate, please supply additional information on separate sheets of paper and attach them to your electronic submission in Part IV of the process.
For all questions, the terms “Project” and “Financial Intermediary” refer to the investment supported by the OPIC insurance or reinsurance contract and/or finance agreement identified by contract number herein.
Some questions and bolded terms found in the SMQ may not be familiar. Should you need it, the document entitled, “Guidelines for completing the OPIC Self-Monitoring Questionnaire” provides detailed instructions and definitions of terms.

SELF MONITORING QUESTIONNAIRE START BUTTON
The Self-Monitoring Questionnaire (SMQ) is divided into two sections: Section A and Section B. Please note that only one of these sections needs to be completed . The electronic form will automatically direct you to the relevant section, depending on your response to question 2A in Part I (this question distinguishes the industry of the OPIC-supported project as Financial Services or Non-Financial Services).
Section A is to be completed by all OPIC Finance, Insurance and Reinsurance projects, and by all OPIC Investment Fund portfolio companies and framework agreement/on-lending facilities unless this is a Financial Intermediary transaction (see below).
Section B is to be completed for Financial Intermediary transactions. As such, the term “Financial Intermediary” refers to, but is not limited to, general-lending banks, specialized-lending institutions, mortgage facilities, microfinance institutions, private equity funds, and other capital market transactions.
The terms “Project” and “Financial Intermediary” are based on definitions given to them in Appendix D of OPIC’s Environmental and Social Policy Statement, as referenced below:
Project – All facilities owned or controlled within a physical project boundary that constitute a commercially viable business unit eligible for OPIC support.
Financial Intermediary – Investment funds, banks or other financial institutions including insurance companies, or other entities or vehicles that receive financing, guaranties or insurance from OPIC and provide debt or equity investment directly to projects or enterprises (“s”).
– A project or enterprise that receives financing, investment, or insurance from an OPIC-supported Financial Intermediary.
