Abstract

This research proposal seeks to investigate the elements that favor social capital and, consequently, the cooperation processes for Official Development Assistance in the achievement of sustainable and safe mobility in Ecuador. This, under the premise of Portela and Neira (2016), the higher the levels of social capital, the more effective the cooperation will be. To this end, the use of quantitative and qualitative tools was used to characterize cooperation in Ecuador during the period 2015-2020 and the analysis of social capital in the cooperation relationship between GIZ and the Municipality of Cuenca. The findings obtained were the identification of the German government as a solid cooperant of Ecuador; the existence of Linking networks of cooperation around sustainable and safe mobility; and the positioning of political will, generation of human links and, the establishment of a public agenda as elements that favor social capital in cooperation relations.
