HLRM in Panama: Secretaría de Alto Nivel para la Prevención de Actos de Corrupción

The Government of Panama originally planned to develop High Level Reporting Mechanism (HLRM) to apply to tenders in the infrastructure. In 2015, it changed the focus to overseeing public procurement by the national Social Security Fund.

Known as the Secretaría de Alto Nivel para la Prevención de Actos de Corrupción (SEPRECO), the Panama version of the HLRM is similar to the Colombian HRLM model. It is designed to be staffed by representatives of Panama’s Anti-Corruption Agency.

Although the Vice President of Panama publicly launched SEPRECO in March 2016, it is still inactive. The internal regulation needed to establish it is stuck awaiting endorsement by the Office of the Comptroller General of the Republic.
