Strategic Advisory Support to the Government of Ecuador in their Continued Civil Society Outreach Program, Phase II
Overview
In August 2005, the Government of Ecuador (GOE) asked for USAID’s assistance with its current civil society outreach strategy to coincide with the conclusion of the Andean FTA negotiations and subsequent efforts toward ratification. Specifically, the GOE asked if it would be possible to count on interim strategic advice from CARANA Consultant Francisco Chacón, author of the original CSOP strategy for the previous government (2004). Counterparts
The principle counterpart for this activity is the Negotiating Commission for the FTA and the FTA Information Dissemination Unit (Unidad de Información y Divulgación del TLC) in the Ministry for Trade, Industry and Fishing (MICIP). Timeframe
This activity was initiated in August 2005 and is estimated to continue through the end of the LAC Trade I contract and rollover into the LAC Trade III contract in January 2006. Activities
CARANA Consultant Francisco Chacón traveled to Quito, Ecuador in August 2005 to meet with the Government of Ecuador and review their current CSOP strategy and provide recommendations for improvement. Results
Mr. Chacon provided strategic guidance to help ensure effective implementation of the CSOP and its alignment to GOE strategies and goals. Specifically, CARANA submitted Mr. Chacon’s written assessment of the strategy and is currently waiting to schedule a follow-up visit. The GOE counterparts cancelled the 2nd scheduled visit in October 2005 due to scheduling conflicts. Relevant Documents
