In 2021, under the leadership of the Ministry of Environment and with the technical and financial support of GWP Central America, a number of consultation workshops were organised with the participation of stakeholders from the public sector, civil society, the private sector, academia, international cooperation and water sector authorities. As a result, the IWRM Action Plan (PAGIRH) 2022-2026 was developed with the objective to implement concrete actions for advancing in IWRM in Panama. The following action was defined as part of that process and identified as a priority action included in the action plan.
The purpose of this action is to encourage local actors, such as aqueduct management boards, to participate in the execution of the Increase Water Resilience Project by installing rainwater harvesting systems (SCALL) for a variety of uses in Colmena Plan (Stage 1) districts, by actively engaging health centres, State institutions and rural schools.
