Panama
The Challenge
U.S. interests in Panama include strengthening regional security, combating international crime, and supporting democracy. Security of the Panama Canal remains a priority. The United States and Panama are committed to deepening their trade relationship. Panama is a crossroads for international commerce, but also a center for illegal activity such as drug trafficking, money laundering, trafficking in arms, and illegal immigration. Refugees and incursions by insurgents from Colombia's civil conflict pose additional challenges. USAID programs contribute to the smooth transit of world commerce through the Canal, trade competitiveness, transparency and accountability in government, a strengthened justice system, and a reduced potential for cross-border conflict. Private and public capital is leveraged to support policy reforms, best practices, community participation, and strengthening civil society organizations for advocacy and holding government accountable.
