Paraguay receives support for social and educational projects
- CAF and the Paraguayan Finance Ministry sign two technical cooperation agreements.
- The first relates to Strengthening Institutional Mechanisms for prevention and treatment of the problem of Human Trafficking.
- The second agreement covers Priority Actions for Development of Rural Education.
The project to strengthen institutional arrangements for the care for victims, prevention, protection and punishment of the crime of human trafficking and the social reintegration of its victims - mostly women and girls - is led by the Women's Secretariat of the Presidency of Paraguay. The aspects covered include supporting the reintegration of women into working life, creating inter-institutional networks to strengthen existing ones and expand them into the interior of the country. The cooperation funds will also be used to prepare a manual on care for victims, and the institutional strengthening of the Secretariat to improve project management and auditing.
The second agreement - Priority Actions for Development of Rural Education - will be executed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock to prepare a national development strategy for the agricultural education system applicable to rural schools located in campesino settlements, and to increase coverage of agricultural education. At the same time, the facilities of 19 rural schools will be refurbished along with a donation of equipment and information systems.
