Paraguay Debates 2.0
The "Paraguay Debates 2.0" campaign was carried out by a coalition of civil society organizations and associations under the slogan "Paraguay Debates" in 2018. With this campaign, they invited civil society, citizens and academics to discuss various issues to install a reform agenda in the public debate. To this end, between February and April, they produced a series of informative publications and position papers, and invited to discuss possible changes to the legislation and regulation in social networks with the hashtag #paraguaydebate. The debate topics were: constitutional reform and electoral system, youth and womens' employment, tax education and equity, land use planning, and health and social protection. Finally, face-to-face debates were called during the month of March 2018, organized with guests and open to the community to exchange ideas.
