Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this work is to design a proposal for international cooperation for the strengthening of sustainable rural development in the Association of Producers of Culluctus and Companies of the canton of Colta, province of Chimborazo, the proposal includes an analysis based on empirical evidence on international financing for the rural sector and the direct observation of the productive activities of the canton, in addition to the potentialities, opportunities and challenges faced by the communities that make up the association in the different components: environmental, economic-productive and social. Using the logical framework methodology, a participatory diagnosis was carried out with key actors in the intervention area. The proposal prepared is aligned with five Sustainable Development Goals, this guarantees coherence with the areas of action in international cooperation, being a key factor for access not only to financing and technical training but also to the strengthening of local capacities to generate strategic alliances and community empowerment. It is concluded that the practical articulation between international cooperation, local actors and public policies allows forging replicable models of rural sustainable development.
