Evidence snapshot for Paraguay
Paraguay has invested in digital inclusion through multiple channels: accessible digital textbooks reaching 19 schools in 2023 with audio, sign-language video, and simplified content, and one-laptop-per-child deployment to all 35 public schools in Caacupé since 2009, though independent research found most devices were used for media consumption rather than creative learning and broke within five years. The country has also pioneered open data governance through open contracting reforms, which nearly doubled the contract value share won by small and medium enterprises (from 2.6% to 4.9%) and reduced contract amendments from 19% to 3%. Additionally, Paraguay's business innovation programme has executed 100 firm-level projects, trained 400 innovation leaders, and assisted over 500 enterprises, with a $10 million second phase approved.
