Of the 118 cooperation initiatives in which Paraguay participated between 2022 and 2023, 38% were carried out through Bilateral SSC; 33% through Regional SSC and 29% through Triangular Cooperation. Paraguay mainly acted as recipient in bilateral and triangular exchanges while its role was predominantly dual in the framework of Regional SSC.    

As provider, Paraguay strengthened other countries’ capacities in sectors such as Tourism; Agriculture and livestock; and Legal and judicial development and Human Rights, to name a few. On the other hand, as recipient, it was able to strengthen its experience in Agriculture and livestock; Strengthening institutions and public policies; and Other services and social policies. When it played the role “Both”, it mainly contributed to cooperation in Culture; Agriculture and livestock; and Education.
