This chapter offers a scorecard containing a series of indicators for monitoring progress on the implementation of the proposed reforms on social protection, health, and education and skills. First, it presents the methodology behind the scorecard; then, it presents the targets that Paraguay should achieve for each indicator by 2030.

Paraguay, a landlocked country with a population of just under 7 million people, is situated in the heart of South America. One of the last of the continent’s countries to overcome dictatorship, Paraguay began a slow move towards democracy in 1989. Notwithstanding Paraguay’s difficult past, the country has become one of the most dynamic economies in the region, with annual growth rates well above the OECD and Latin American averages. Thanks to a strong macroeconomic performance and to important structural reforms, many Paraguayans have overcome poverty and middle classes have started to emerge.
