Abstract

This research seeks to analyze the elements of social capital present in Official Development Assistance that facilitate international cooperation among the participating agents in the 2015-2020 period. The study is mixed and quantitative data was used in official databases and semi-structured interviews with the informants of the executing and financing program in Ecuador. The results show the presence of networks through the participation of international cooperating and executing entities, as protagonists in projects related to SDG 5 Gender Equality, as well as the existence of trust standards based on the establishment of transparency policies, therefore It is concluded that despite the lack of commitment by the State in projects related to SDG 5, the relevance of an environment where the participating agents feel confident that the resources allocated seek to reduce violence against women is evident.
