  • Identify if CI is positioned to achieve significant Southern Cross results in the Panama by 2025
  • Analyze external political environment in Panama and CI’s ability to achieve key goals
  • Describe the landscape of conservation organizations and main conservation donors in the country
  • Assess if CI is filling a unique niche in the country that other organizations are not filling
  • Describe funding opportunities that CI is eligible for given current legal status in the country
