Paraguay has made considerable progress in reducing poverty and improving living conditions. To bolster its achievements and further advance social development, the country must create a comprehensive social protection system that can improve living conditions for the most vulnerable people, foster everyone’s inclusion in the country’s economic development and provide vital risk-management tools for the whole population. This implies facing the challenges of coverage, funding and governance throughout the social protection system and in each of its facets, especially the pension system. This chapter presents the main conclusions from the Multi-dimensional Review of Paraguay on social protection and puts forward a more specific action plan for pension reform.

Este capítulo recoge las principales recomendaciones y áreas de acción prioritaria para el sistema educativo y de habilidades basadas en el análisis del Volumen 2 del Estudio multidimensional de Paraguay. El país ha avanzado sustancialmente en varias dimensiones del sistema educativo. El sistema educativo y de formación de competencias enfrenta tres grandes retos: mejorar la cobertura y finalización, sobre todo en pre-primaria y secundaria y para algunos grupos socioeconómicos, mejorar la calidad de los resultados de aprendizaje, lo que supone un cambio en la gestión de la formación y la carrera docente, y mejorar la adecuación de la formación tanto general como técnica con la demanda de la economía.

El sistema de salud paraguayo enfrenta grandes desafíos para alcanzar la cobertura universal en salud. Para lograr atender la doble carga de enfermedades de su población, es necesario asegurar financiamiento sostenible, conseguir una operación más eficiente en el sistema y fortalecer su capacidad rectora. El país ha emprendido una serie de reformas para modernizar el sistema que han logrado sentar las bases para un nuevo enfoque de la atención sanitaria basada en la atención primaria. Sin embargo, no han modificado significativamente los pilares del sistema de salud ni su fragmentación en múltiples subsistemas.La tercera fase del Estudio Multidimensional tiene como objetivo salvar la distancia entre las recomendaciones incluidas en el Volumen 2 del estudio y su implementación a través de una serie de actividades participativas para generar un plan de acción y una serie de instrumentos de monitoreo. Durante una reunión de alto nivel con las autoridades paraguayas, se abordaron diferentes aspectos de la política de salud y de una potencial reforma, y se identificaron cuatro ejes temáticos clave para poner manos a la obra: (i) asegurar el financiamiento sostenible del sistema; (ii) reducir la fragmentación, integrando la prestación de servicios y mejorando el sistema de pago a proveedores; (iii) definir un paquete de beneficios en salud; e (iv) implementar compras públicas más eficientes de medicamentos e insumos médicos. Este capítulo también presenta una serie de herramientas conceptuales con el objetivo de apoyar al gobierno para la toma de decisiones y la reestructuración del sistema de salud en estas áreas clave.

The Paraguayan health system is faced with major challenges to achieve universal health coverage. To respond to the double burden of disease among the population, it needs to secure sustainable funding, ensure it is run more efficiently and strengthen its stewardship. The country has undertaken a series of reforms to modernise the system, laying the foundations for a new approach to health care based on primary care. However, it has not significantly altered the foundations of the health system and its fragmentation into multiple subsystems.The third phase of the Multi-dimensional Review aims to bridge the gap between the recommendations made in Volume 2 of the review and the implementation of those recommendations through a series of participatory activities to generate an action plan and a series of monitoring instruments. A high-level meeting with Paraguayan authorities discussed various aspects of health policy and a potential reform and identified four key areas in which work may begin: (i) securing sustainable funding for the system; (ii) reducing fragmentation by integrating service delivery and improving the system of payment to suppliers; (iii) defining a package of health benefits; and (iv) making the public procurement of medicines and medical supplies more efficient. This chapter also presents a series of conceptual tools with the objective of supporting the government for decision making and restructuring of the health system in these key areas.

This paper studies the potential drivers of governments’ approval rates in 18 Latin American countries using Internet search query data from Google Trends and traditional data sources. It employs monthly panel data between January 2006 and December 2015. The analysis tests several specifications including traditional explanatory variables of governments’ approval rates – i.e. inflation, unemployment rate, GDP growth, output gap – and subjective explanatory variables – e.g. perception of corruption and insecurity. For the latter, it uses Internet search query data to proxy citizens’ main social concerns, which are expected to drive governments’ approval rates. The results show that the perception of corruption and insecurity, and complaints about public services have a statistically significant association with governments’ approval rates. This paper also discusses the potential of Internet search query data as a tool for policy makers to understand better citizens’ perceptions, since it provides highly anonymous and high-frequency series in real-time.

Internet users, active mobile broadband and fixed broadband subscriptions increased in the last decade. Paraguay rose in the E-Government Development Index from 0.47 in 2008 to 0.53 in 2018, which is below the Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) average (0.65) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) average (0.82). The index measures national administrations’ willingness and capacity to use information and communications technology (ICT) to deliver public services.
