SPECIFIC PROJECT PROFILE WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE HEMISPHERIC
COOPERATION PROGRAM – RELATED TO COMPETITION POLICY

 

Introduction

Projects that are presented must be consistent with the principles, objectives, and general characteristics of the Hemispheric Cooperation Program. 
 
  1. Project Title

    Strengthening Paraguay’s negotiating capacity and active participation in the negotiation of the FTAA Chapter on Competition.

  2. Background

    Paraguay has not been able to participate in the last three meetings of the NGCP due to a shortage of financial resources. Initially (2000-2001), Paraguay’s participation was financed through a non-reimbursable technical assistance program in support of the country’s international trade negotiations, provided by the IDB to the Ministry of Industry and Trade (through the IDB/MIC ATN/SF-5888-PR), which concluded in 2002.

  3. Rationale

    If approved, this cooperation project will help Paraguay to resume its active participation in the FTAA negotiations, and particularly, in the negotiations of the NGCP.

     
  4. Project Objectives

    1. Overall
      Strengthen Paraguay’s participation in the FTAA negotiations.

    2. Specific (if applicable)

      (objectives must be stated in a very specific manner).

     
  5. Inputs1 : resources required for the project
