Evidence snapshot for Paraguay

Paraguay has implemented several evidence-based initiatives across technology, environment, and security sectors. Machine learning for customs fraud detection achieved a 73% fraud-detection rate versus 18% baseline through an RCT, with potential to recover over USD 200 million annually in unpaid duties. A one-laptop-per-child programme distributed roughly 4,000 devices across 35 public schools in Caacupé by 2015, though independent research found most laptops were used for media consumption and broke within five years. Law 5777/2016 criminalised femicide and established systematic monitoring, recording 13,491 domestic-violence reports in 2017 and an average of 36 femicide deaths per year between 2019–2022, though conviction rates remain low relative to case volume.
