Paraguay
The Challenge
Paraguay is undergoing a historic transformation towards consolidating its democracy and promoting a fair and licit market economy, both of which are primary U.S. national interests. Despite recent progress, challenges remain including a non-competitive business environment, high levels of corruption, few incentives for sustainable resource management, and a public health system that is centralized, poorly managed and inappropriately deployed. There is a low level of capacity within the public sector to address these challenges. USAID's program in Paraguay aims to institute democratic practices, increase trade and incomes for the poor, improve management of important eco-regions, and improve access to quality reproductive health services.
