Grant Description

(USAID) Mission to Paraguay is seeking applications to implement the Democracy and Governance Program from both local Non-government organizations (NGO) and for profit organizations currently operating in Paraguay. The USAID/Paraguay’s Democracy and Governance program’s primary assistance objective is twofold: 1) Reduce corruption and impunity, and 2) Improve good governance. Within this objective, the Mission has identified three intermediate results: a) Increased transparency and impartiality in the justice sector and overall professionalization of judges and the judicial system; b) Support governmental reform to improve management and policy making systems and increase government effectiveness to reduce corruption and patronage, and c) Strengthen and expand Civil Society institutional capacity to demand public sector accountability, support broader civil society organization alliances, and enhance civil society interaction with the government
