OPIC has been working on a new tool that DFC will use to measure development impact called the ‘Impact Quotient,’ which should be released in the coming weeks, according to Allen. The agency is also working to finalize a coordination report outlining how DFC and the U.S. Agency for International Development will work together, which has to be submitted to Congress as one of the final steps before DFC can open its doors…” (Saldinger, 7/30).
