Cooperación Internacional y financiamiento de proyectos de capacitación financiera de mujeres para el empoderamiento económico: Caso de estudio Grameen Loja. Aplicación de la metodología de Marco Lógico en 2025

Abstract

Abstract: This research develops a proposal for an international cooperation project aimed at strengthening the economic empowerment of rural women who are beneficiaries of microcredit through the Grameen Loja Corporation, by means of financial training. Based on a territorial diagnosis and the Logical Framework Approach, the core problem identified was the limited financial education of the participants, which hinders the effective use of credit and, therefore, their real empowerment. Several intervention alternatives were analyzed, and financial education focused on business management was selected as the most relevant strategy, with institutional validation. The project was structured with a gender-sensitive, context-specific and results-oriented approach, using the weekly meetings held at the centers as training spaces. The InnovaMUJER program by GIZ was identified as the most suitable funding partner, due to its thematic, methodological, and financial alignment with the proposal. This thesis offers a practical tool to connect international cooperation with local processes of financial inclusion from a gender perspective and outlines a concrete roadmap for implementation.
