Grant Description

The fundamental objective of the Public Policy and Presidential Elections program is to strengthen the capacity of Paraguayan political parties to structure programmatic engagement with voters on the basis of substantive policy issues and to address different stages of the policy process (policy formulation, policy making, policy implementation) in different contexts (elections, executive, congress). The program will support cross-party dialogue through political leader networks; party awareness campaigns on policy proposals with women and youth as promoters; intensive use of cell phone/IT to do policy polling; and presidential debates with candidatesу public policy experts.
