Abstract

Abstract: The objective of this work was to develop a proposal for international cooperation and financing of projects that support the Cantonal Plan for Citizen Security and Peaceful Social Coexistence of the Canton of Manta for the year 2024. To this end, a qualitative and participatory methodology was used, which included techniques such as the analysis of documentary information, focus groups and prioritization dynamics with key actors of the Cantonal Council for Citizen Security. As a result, 6 proposals were selected, with a total score ranging between 194 and 210 points, highlighting projects such as actions to digitally transform security management, recovery of public spaces, institutional strengthening, and specialized attention to vulnerable groups. In conclusion, the study was able to define priority projects with high potential for impact and sustainability, establishing a clear framework for managing international financing, improving institutional coordination and strengthening security and social coexistence in Manta in a comprehensive and participatory manner.
