Panama
The Drinking water and sanitation program in rural and indigenous areas of Panama, with emphasis on local management, is currently being extended and is expected to be completed by December 2023. Throughout 2022, progress has been made in the Maraca works, including constructing an aqueduct, 400 individual sanitation units, and four school sanitation modules in the Ngäbe-Buglé region. In addition, work is underway at Kankintu, and the Chichica-Las Lajitas project has been completed.
On the other hand, there is an institutional strengthening component through which work has been done to support the JAARS (Rural Water Management Boards), and the reactivation of the program’s gender plan is also planned.
