Cooperación Internacional y Financiamiento del Proyecto de Turismo Sostenible en la Mancomunidad Nor Central, articulado al ACUS Mojanda-Cambugán: Aplicación de la Metodología de Marco Lógico en 2025

Abstract

Abstract: International cooperation has gained relevance in recent years, with the aim of promoting a more sustainable approach, aligning itself with balanced and equitable development. In this context, the North-Central Commonwealth of the Metropolitan District of Quito (DMQ) represents an opportunity to promote sustainability in its activities. Based on the documentary analysis carried out and interviews with key stakeholders in the territory, it is evident that to effectively leverage the benefits of international cooperation, it is necessary to strengthen local democracy. Factors such as institutional capacity, citizen participation, and transparency in management are key elements for finding solutions to the territory's problems. In this sense, a logical framework matrix is ​​proposed as a strategy to generate synergies among stakeholders and foster solutions that involve the entire community. This initiative is an academic proposal, based on information gathered from unstructured interviews in the territory and information from projects with similar characteristics. A participatory local diagnosis is recommended focused on tourism as an alternative to sustainable development and linked to the management plan of the Mojanda-Cambugán conservation and sustainable use area.
