The purpose of this proposal is to offer technical guidance and support to Paraguay to conduct a sectoral technology needs assessment (TNA) and develop a technology action plan (TAP). TNAs are a highly practical tool that provides an effective and solid foundation upon which developing countries can both scale up and implement action on climate technologies. The sectoral TNA will complement he national processes and enable technology transfer to aid in the realization of the country’s climate change and development strategies as contained in their National Development Plan (PND) 2030, NDC, National Climate Change Policy (NCCP), National Climate Change Strategy, NAP and National Mitigation Plan. 

The direct beneficiaries of the Readiness’ project are the government of Paraguay and other non-governmental institutions (e.g. private sector)
