IPA Paraguay has led evaluations mostly in partnership with various ministries in Paraguay, and the local demand for evidence is growing.


Over the past few years, the Paraguay team launched a number of events to encourage local evidence-based policymaking, working in collaboration with the National Strategy for Financial Inclusion, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Social Protection, among others. We expect that this collaboration will continue to grow in Paraguay as we work together with policymakers to create more high quality evidence.
