The general objective of this project is to strengthen the institutional capacities of Paraguay's national innovation system (NIS) for the better implementation of STI policy programs. Specific Objectives: In particular, the project will support the Government of Paraguay regarding: (a) Strengthening the institutional capacities of the national funding agency (CONACYT) to manage STI policy programs and (b) Scaling-up the institutional capabilities of GRIs in order to carry-out successful technology transfer to the business sector.
