Evidence snapshot for Paraguay
Paraguay has deployed evidence-based technology for customs enforcement—a machine-learning fraud-detection system that raised detection rates from 18% to 73% while reducing inspections by 70%—and passed comprehensive legal protections against gender-based violence, with Law 5777/2016 establishing femicide as a standalone offence and mandating systematic monitoring that recorded 143 femicide deaths between 2019 and 2022. However, Paraguay's largest education technology initiative, the One Laptop per Child programme that distributed ~4,000 devices across 35 schools, suffered from device failures within five years and primarily enabled media consumption rather than the creative learning originally intended. On conservation, Paraguay's largest REDD+ project protects 32,000 hectares of dry forest and is estimated to avoid 5.6 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions over 10 years.
