Grant Description

The Paraguay Threshold Program addressed widespread corruption rooted, in part, in weak government institutions and a poorly functioning, distorted and exceedingly informal economy.

Working on the dual fronts of impunity and informalityand enlisting the participation of all three branches of government: the Executive, the Judiciary and the Legislature, as well as the Public Ministry and the Comptroller General of the Republic, the Program proposed to carry out critical, sustainable reforms in key government institutions.
