Una aproximación a la responsabilidad social de los gobiernos municipales del Ecuador: Estudio de Caso del Gobierno Autónomo Descentralizado de Machala

Abstract

Social Responsibility (SR) is based on ethical guidelines that guide the decisions of individuals, public and private organizations in relation to society as a whole and the environment. In Ecuador, all Decentralized Autonomous Governments (GAD) are required to promote SR practices and to comply with the necessary reports of accountability and transparency of information to be within the reach of the community. The objective of this study was to describe and analyze the RS practices and the information published on the web by the Machala GAD, through the use of qualitative research tools such as documentary analysis, interviews and surveys. GAD coworkers, beneficiaries of Social projects, the social project "Casita de mi sueños" and two nurseries of the "Growing with our children (CNH)" program were visited, so with the information we got, the Machala GAD has a very unstructured management model. The information on the website is incomplete based on transparenty of information but the work they, tries to respond to the needs that the community demands with different programs Aimed at different vulnerable groups.
