United Nations Development Assistance Framework
The United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) is the result of a participatory process that intends to identify the cooperation areas on which the Panamanian offices of the United Nations should focus, as well as the issues that should have priority in each of these areas. This process involves the participation of governmental authorities, civil society organizations, as well as representatives of the academia. Participation takes place in workshops for strategic prioritization, where participants exchange perspectives. Two UNDAFs were developed in Panama, one for the period 2012-2015 and the other for the period 2016-2020. More than 100 participants representing 22 government institutions, 14 civil society organizations and 3 universities, as well as 25 technicians from 15 UN agencies in Panama took part in the development of the UNDAF 2016-2020.

Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
