This USAID/Paraguay grant aims to bolster stability and security in Paraguay by advancing inclusive and sustainable economic development. The program specifically targets small-scale producers and vulnerable populations, including women, the disabled, and the rural poor, with a particular focus on the Northern Zone. USAID/Paraguay seeks to strengthen democratic institutions, promote economic inclusion, and foster a more efficient business environment. Key objectives include increasing net income for small-scale producer organizations and enterprises through improved value chains and market access. Furthermore, a core focus is expanding employment and business opportunities, particularly for women. This initiative ultimately addresses underlying inequality and strengthens economic opportunities for marginalized groups, contributing to long-term national prosperity.
