Multi-dimensional Review of Paraguay
Volume 3. From Analysis to Action
Paraguay has set itself ambitious development goals for 2030. To achieve them, it
will have to tackle two major challenges: buttressing sources of sustainable economic
prosperity and putting the country on a more inclusive development path. Progressing
towards a more inclusive society will require a broad and vigorous reform agenda.
First, the country’s healthcare system requires systemic reform to widen its coverage,
reduce Paraguayans’ vulnerability in the face of health risks and increase the efficiency
of health service provision. Second, the social protection system needs to overcome
its fragmentation and become more effective in delivering the right services and risk
management tools to citizens according to their needs. In particular, the pension
system requires reforms to increase its coverage and become more equitable and more
sustainable. Third, the quality and the inclusiveness of its education and training
system need to be strengthened to generate the skills the economy needs, and provide
opportunities to all. Based on the analysis and recommendations undertaken in Volumes
1 and 2 of this Multi-dimensional country review, this report identifies key areas
for action and presents targeted action plans to kick-start reform. The report also
provides a dashboard of monitoring indicators to support the reform agenda in the
country.
