Recipient: Soledad Núñez, GCL Class of 2014

The 2017 GCL Impact Award was awarded to Soledad Nuñez from Paraguay. Soledad is the minister of housing and habitat of Paraguay. She was named to that post at the age of 31, making her the youngest minister of the cabinet and the first woman to assume the leadership of this ministry. In her first year in office, Soledad was able to multiply the production of social housing at the national level four times, and she continues to work within the ministry to improve the well-being of the citizens of Paraguay. Soledad’s efforts are a clear example of the mission of the GCL program to activate a multiplier effect that can have a positive and exponential impact in the region.
