This project aims at supporting the progressive implementation of the Social Protection System (SPS) through the exercise of rights, democratic participation and citizen demand for the reduction of inequalities and the improvement of social cohesion in Paraguay. It will focus on citizen participation and community empowerment for the implementation and monitoring of associated public policies to the SPS with an emphasis on children, adolescents, youth and women, at the national and local levels in Paraguay. Public authorities from 12 districts and  6 departments are involved in the activities, together with citizens, youth and women organisations, media and the private sector at different levels to strengthen the policy and improve its sustainability.
