COUNTRY CONTEXT
Paraguay is one of the countries that has received the most support from the Cooperation Fund for Water and Sanitation, with a contribution of 71.3 million euro in donations, which have been managed since 2011 through two programs with the IADB.
The first program, focused on rural areas, had the National Environmental Sanitation Service of Paraguay (SENASA) of the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare as a partner and sought to promote access to water and sanitation in small towns and rural and indigenous communities (PAYSRI) (‘27.3 million).
Under the Paraguayan Ministry of Public Works and Communications, the second targeted the northwestern region of the Chaco and intermediate cities in the eastern part (‘43.9 million).
