Panama International IDEA A tiempo completo

**Context**:
During 2019, the Panama Office collaborated with the EU-funded global project _INTER PARES | Parliaments in Partnership_ to strengthen the capacities of the National Parliament of the Republic of Panama. On that occasion, with the financial support of the European Union, an effort was made to improve the National Parliament´s legislative, supervisory, representative, budgetary, and administrative functions. Particularly, through the strategies of a) strengthening the capacity of legislative officials, b) strengthening dialogue with citizens and civil society, c) strengthening women's leadership, and d) developing lines of action focused on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Due to the global emergency resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the alliance between the National Parliament of the Republic of Panama and International IDEA was indefinitely postponed.

Currently, International IDEA is interested in continuing the collaboration with the European Union and its delegation in Panama to resume actions to strengthen the legislative capacities of the National Parliament of the Republic of Panama as well as its interaction with youth, women, minority groups and civil society to reinforce the quality of democracy by fostering political participation in decision-making with new country engagements and citizen´s demands and in a context of an important distrust to institutions, particularly, to the National Parliament.

By encouraging the cooperation between the National Parliament, and civil society organizations as an interconnected ecosystem, International IDEA aims to inspire and support these actors to adopt behaviours, relationships and practices that are conducive to political participation and representation. This project is based on two outcomes: a) strengthening the National Parliament´s capacity to exercise its legislative, oversight and representation functions and institutional systems to become more transparent, inclusive, responsive, and accountable to all citizens and b) engaging civil society organizations with representative institutions democratically and effectively to improve public policy and practice and to hold political decision-makers to account.

The Finance and Administrative Officer will provide high-level financial and administrative support in accordance with project needs and will be responsible for accounting, payments, bank account and providing support to the office on financial and procurement aspects.
