Technical assistance to the Electoral Tribunal to strengthen electoral integrity and promote inclusion and equality in Panamanian democracy

The assistance is intended to address the context of citizen mistrust in political institutions; support the work of the National Electoral Reform Commission and the design and implementation of the 2027-2029 General Election Plan. It also aspires to collaborate with the institutional strengthening of the Electoral Tribunal and promote international horizontal cooperation with other regional electoral agencies. It also includes International IDEA's support in promoting civic electoral culture and coexistence in democracy; fostering political participation and combating gender-based political violence; and protecting electoral integrity from threats such as disinformation and fake news, and the appropriate use of new technologies such as artificial intelligence.

International IDEA seeks to develop knowledge and promote evidence-based dialogue and electoral reform proposals, working in collaboration with the Institute for Democratic Studies (INED) to support research and capacity building in the Electoral Tribunal and among the general public.
