Decidamos, Campaña por la Expresión Ciudadana

What Decidamos, Campaña por la Expresión Ciudadana does

Decidamos, Campaña por la Expresión Ciudadana is a Paraguayan non-profit civil society organization headquartered in Asunción that operates a portfolio of roughly ten advocacy, research, and civic education programs. Its thematic focus spans democratic participation, fiscal justice, gender equality, food sovereignty, youth civic engagement, social inclusion, and indigenous community rights. The organization's portfolio includes Economía Feminista (feminist economics education), ODS Tembi'ura (SDG 1, 2, 10, and 13 monitoring and food sovereignty), Acción Joven (youth leadership and civic participation, including the Data Joven resource hub), PISET (tax equity and social investment research), Paraguay Incluye, Ko'ape Aime (indigenous participation), Jakaru, the Plataforma contra la violencia hacia las mujeres, Mujer y Economía, and the Voz Activa human rights awareness campaign.

The technology stack is a network of content and documentation platforms rather than a unified software product: each program operates its own WordPress-style website (e.g., soberaniaalimentaria.decidamos.org.py, piset.decidamos.org.py, jakaru.decidamos.org.py, plataformacontraviolencia.decidamos.org.py) hosting educational modules, bibliographic repositories, downloadable guides, and audiovisual materials. Core technology is described as a "data-driven research and documentation platform" for civic engagement, with proprietary specializations in feminist economics content, youth human-rights resource curation, and SDG progress tracking — but no APIs, SDKs, AI/ML components, or commercial integrations are disclosed.

Decidamos' business model is grant-funded non-profit operations. The organization does not charge for any of its services and distributes all research, educational content, and advocacy materials free of charge via digital platforms and direct community engagement. Funding is sourced primarily from international development partners — most prominently the European Union (financing ODS Tembi'ura and Acción Joven) along with Oxfam, Adveniat, and CCFD-Terre Solidaire — and is delivered through consortium arrangements with academic and civil society partners including CADEP, CEPAG, Fe y Alegría Paraguay, ESADE, and an extensive regional network (Latindadd, Social Watch, Plataforma Mercosur Social y Solidario, Red de Justicia Fiscal, Codehupy, Pojoaju, Japoli, Saka, Paraguay Debate). The organization is operationally active as of 2025-2026 but has no disclosed revenue, headcount, or commercial pricing.
