Panama
Between 2022 and 2023, Panama implemented 106 actions, projects and programs. Of this total, 55% of the initiatives were implemented through Bilateral SSC, 32% through Regional SSC and 13% through Triangular Cooperation. It mainly acted as recipient in bilateral and triangular exchanges while the role “Both” stood out in regional initiatives.
Different partners enhanced their experience through Panama’s knowledge in sectors such as Agriculture and livestock; Water supply and sanitation; and Legal and judicial development and Human Rights, among others. As recipient, Panama mainly strengthened its capacities in Agriculture and livestock; Education; and Environment. This country mainly played a dual role in initiatives related to Culture; Strengthening institutions and public policies; and Education.
Colombia, Mexico and Costa Rica were Panama’s main partners during this period. Its Bilateral SSC, Triangular Cooperation and Regional SSC contributed to the alignment of the region’s cooperation with SDG 16 (Peace, justice and strong institutions), SDG 4 (Quality education) and SDG 3 (Good health and well-being).
