Evidence snapshot for La Paz

One documented four-neighbourhood tranche cost 26.7 million bolivianos and benefited 2,338 families. The programme has been recognized as a reference model for participatory upgrading by the World Bank and won the Barcelona FAD "City to City" award in 2013. Additionally, ConexiónLab has expanded its Miska Mobile School digital skills training to 22 educational units in La Paz as part of a replication effort beginning in 2025.
