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. Specially, for achieving these objectives, the reference of Korean experience can be very supportive in the sense that the existence of effective NIS organizations (NFAs and GRIs) greatly contributed to her manufacturing and ICT industries' rapid growth, leading to the remarkable economic development within a very short time period.
