Ecuador
Between 2022 and 2023, Ecuador implemented 176 actions, programs and projects. Sixty-one percent (61%) of these initiatives were implemented through Bilateral SSC; 24% through Regional SSC and 15% through Triangular Cooperation (15%). Although Ecuador mainly participated as recipient in the Bilateral (57 out of 107 initiatives) and Triangular (22 out of 27) modalities, its dual role in Regional SSC (31 out of 42) was noteworthy.
Ecuador provided capacity strengthening in sectors such as Agriculture and livestock, strengthening institutions and public policies; and Environment, to name a few. On the other hand, as recipient, it was specially supported in Agriculture and livestock; Environment; and Health. Its dual role, in turn, suggests a specialized profile in the Agriculture and livestock; Culture; and Strengthening institutions and public policies sectors.
Peru, Colombia and Chile were Ecuador’s main partners in the 2022-2023 period. Through these exchanges, Ecuador mainly contributed to the achievement of SDG 16 (Peace, justice and strong institutions), SDG 2 (Zero hunger) and SDG 8 (Decent work and economic growth).
