A total of 136,000 people registered the option of community social service in the digital platform of Panama Solidario to receive financial aid from the Digital Voucher.

You must register through the website www.panamasolidario.gob.pa Digital Vale section, perform 24 monthly hours of community social service or take training courses from the National Institute of Professional Training and Training for Human Development (Inadeh) or the Institute Specialized Higher Technician (ITSE).

Since yesterday, registration was enabled on the Panama Solidario platform, the option to register the work or course that will be carried out in the month of October. The beneficiaries will have until September 30, 2021 to register on the platform and continue receiving the transfer.

The measure that establishes that the beneficiaries of the Digital Voucher with suspended contracts, pregnant women or those who are breastfeeding for up to 1 year, and people with disabilities, will not have to perform community social service or receive virtual training at Inadeh.
