Sostenibilidad integrada de las organizaciones de la sociedad civil en Ecuador: entre la supervivencia y la extinción

Abstract

This document analyzes the sustainability of civil society organizations (CSOs) in Ecuador from an integrated approach perspective. Currently, CSOs in the country face challenges related to normative changes that regulate their activity, lower flow of resources from international cooperation as Ecuador is considered a middle income country and, also, the tendency to a state of organizational inertia. The methodology includes primary information obtained from speeches by CSO leaders and the identification and analysis of good practices for the integrated sustainability of CSOs. The main results of the article are that sustainability in Ecuador depends on an adequate management of resources, institutional capacity and creative adaptation to changing environments.
