1. BACKGROUND

The Pan American Development Foundation (PADF) believes in creating a hemisphere of opportunity, for all. We work across Latin America and the Caribbean to make our region stronger - healthier, more peaceful, just, inclusive, resilient and sustainable for current and future generations. For 60 years, we have served the most vulnerable communities, investing resources throughout the hemisphere. We partner with civil society, governments and the private sector and empower them to achieve the good of the region.

With 60 years of experience throughout Latin America and the Caribbean and strong partnerships with local communities, civil society, and the public and private sectors, we have an impeccable track record of success with extensive in-country networks and strong financial controls. We are uniquely positioned to develop and implement adaptable programs in multiple technical areas, rapidly deploy to any country in Latin America and the Caribbean and activate existing local networks, measure and evaluate our impact with comprehensive performance indicators, and communicate our progress through integrated communication strategies.

2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The PROJECT FOR STRENGTHENING THE CAPACITY OF THE JUDICIAL SECTOR TO COMBAT TRANSNATIONAL CRIME, FINANCIAL CRIMES AND CORRUPTION IN PANAMA (CTOC+) seeks to hire a natural person to lead three regional theoretical-practical workshops on issues related to organized crime, financial crimes and corruption and prepare a characterization report identifying relevant typologies, comparative analysis of crime patterns and observed asymmetries, as well as critical nodes of the institutional response, especially of the criminal justice administration system.

Based on the interactive exercise in each region/province, it is also expected that a methodological exercise will be developed to reinforce the concepts discussed at each conference and determine the training and capacity-building needs that need to be addressed.
