The Situation: Paraguay has a high number of children under 1 year old without birth certificate. 24% are not enrolled in civil registration, and this number grows to 35% at indian children. In essence, this means they have no official identity. With the upcoming presidential election, our job was to work with UNICEF, to make our candidates commit to this.

The Goal: In Paraguay, social awareness is not as respected as the law. So, Unicef needs the commitment of presidential candidates to work in children registration if they were elected.

The Strategy: Soccer is the favorite sport in Paraguay. The Paraguayan soccer selection matches has high rating in tv and radios. The strategy was send a message throws a soccer match. In association with 2 tv channels and 4 radios which conveyed the party Uruguay vs Paraguay for Brazil 2014 world cup qualifying, Unicef send a big message to presidential candidates.
