Articulación multinivel a escala local. Caso de estudio: provincia de Loja

Abstract

Abstract:The present investigation is oriented to know the way in which the different levels of government act at the moment of developing and collaborating in actions and programs in search of local development so that there is no overlapping of competences and the existence or not of articulation between them ; study that will reveal the role of the Autonomous Decentralized Governments (GAD s) of the Province of Loja. The objective of this work lies in the interest of identifying and analyzing how the competences granted through COOTAD, the Magna Carta, among others, are linked to each other when developing and collaborating in actions and programs in search of development and local growth. . A lack of efficiency in public policy and planning, problems both in the ideological or personal sphere between authorities, in addition to the lack of knowledge, may be the main causes of problems in this process of decentralization and redistribution of resources; leading to disagreements between the GADs at all levels and the absence of local policies that allow further development of the sectors.
