Paraguay Programme Support This project fund will facilitate two or more partner meetings in Paraguay between CAFOD and existing partners over the course of 2008/9 in order to develop our existing work in Paraguay into a programme. We will be able to undertake and external evaluation of partners and also undertake audits where necessary. This fund will also allow us to meet with potential new partners, who may fit with the new programme, and link these new partners with our existing partners.  This will allow CAFOD to build on the networking that is occurring between our current partners in order that CAFOD and partners can work better together to produce a coherent and effectively functioning programme in the country.  These meetings and the development of a programme will complement the development of the CAFOD CSP for Paraguay.
Civil Society and Communication: Strategies to Consolidate Civil Society Participation, Paraguay Alter Vida was in existence since 1985 as a non-profit organisation. Its mission was “to work for sustainable development, through the appropriate management of ecosystems, with the participation, coordination and commitment of all social actors”. It then evolved into Radio FM Trinidad in 1994, as a result of meetings between Alter Vida and the local shantytown committees, women’s groups and cultural organisations of the Trinidad District in Asunción. CAFOD has supported Radio Viva since 1994. The aim of the radio station has been to find practical solutions to basic needs, as well as to promote solidarity, creativity, gender equality, social justice and cultural identity. 

The organisation and radio station aims to strengthen and increase the participation of civil society. Through the promotion and strengthening of an active civil society that engages government authorities on issues affecting it. Radio Viva aims to do this through radio programmes on its radio station aimed at the wider public and also strengthening other local radio stations in its network. Radio Viva seeks to encourage a critical unbiased press that voices the concerns of the citizens of Paraguay. Radio Viva provides radio programmes and a news letter in Guarani. Providing information and programming in Guaraní has meant that those who have been marginalized by their inability to speak Spanish (around 40% of the population) are now able to access information previously unavailable to them. This is integral to its objectives of promoting cultural identity and self-esteem in marginalised sectors of the population.

As the result of the election of a new president in April 2008, this project will focus on monitoring the government performance in areas of social policy such as health education and agrarian reform.  Radio Viva are also working together this year with three other CAFOD partners to develop common lines of action with a view to the development of a programme.
Capacity Building and Information for Civil Society Organisations, Paraguay The Document and Research Centre (CDE) plays an important role in producing and disseminating information on the social, economic and political reality of Paraguay, while at the same time building the capacity of rural and urban civil society groups. The CDE is a source of resources on issues such as: land distribution, land conflict, rural and urban workers rights, economic development and projections, gender, social dynamics  and the history of rural and urban social movements. The newletters Informativo campesino  and Informativo laboral are the two publication that disseminate CDE analysis and information gathering.  Radio programmes are also produced and transmitted by 22 community radio stations. The work on producing and collating information, together with informed analysis of current issues, re-inforces the capacity building of the civil society groups they work with. This information is then used by these groups to increase their understanding and subsequently increase their ability to participate, monitor and pressure the authorities on issues such as land rights.
Strengthening Civil Society and Promoting Democracy, Paraguay The overall mission of Decidamos is to contribute to the formation of a Paraguayan citizenship that is active, critical, organised, pluralist, focused on the construction of a democracy of social justice and human rights. This project aims to enable ordinary Paraguayan people to promote democratic values and to participate and engage in the country’s future.  Decidamos have a variety of different projects funded by a variety of donors, and the project that CAFOD supports focuses on following the General Budget of Expenditure of the Nation (PGGN) and support civil society organisations as they seek to influence the budget development and implementation process. Decidamos look to improve the capacities of civil society and social organisations which aim to influence the budget development and implementation process in which social policies are established that have the objective of reducing levels of poverty. 

The project has three lines of action:	
1. To generate alternative information concerning the previous budget such as resources available in the budget, resources badly used and an investment proposal for the budget for the next year in some social areas that require investment- health, education, housing, agrarian reform, children
2. To articulate an alliance of social organisations and networks that are mobilised for demanding better and greater investment
3. Inform and sensitise citizens about the desired amount of social investment and challenges that require more efficient, effective and equitable investment. 

This year they will also be looking at the tax system and how this links to social investment.

Strengthen capacity to ensure transparency of action implemented and support received to implement Fijiâ€™s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and Low Emissions Development Strategy (LEDS) To strengthen institutional and human capacities to enable the country to comply with the requirements of the transparency framework under the Paris Agreement on Climate Change Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency. The project supports enhanced reporting and assessments in the areas of national GHG inventories, GHG mitigation, finance and capacity building leading to data collection for in-depth assessment of existing climate actions and policies and development of new climate policy instruments. This CBIT project will also inform and guide the formulation of cost-effective policies in the areas of GHG mitigation as well as budgetary allocations for climate action. This can include responsive energy planning, reducing reliance on energy imports and freeing government resources, mitigating conflicts over scarce resources, improving the national and local economies, improving the health and wellbeing of the population and empowering communities and citizens. Enhanced coordination between government ministries, private sector, civil society, academia and communities ensures that sustainable development benefits are brought into focus. Thus, these initiatives will be in line with the convention obligation, national sustainable development needs and the SDG No. 13 to combat climate change and its impacts. The project is also associated with global benefits through capacity development mainly in the areas of GHG inventories and emission reductions, climate change vulnerability and adaptation understanding. In the absence of this project, there will be an uncoordinated approach in data collection and analysis, which will prevent effective implementation of the NDC and climate-smart projects programmes and policies. The National Climate Transparency System will also enable the tracking of sustainable development impact based on the overlaps with the mitigation actions. This process will improve the dialogue between sectors and relevant stakeholders, encouraging wider environmental, social and economic benefits with measurable indicators.
