Initiative: Manabi 2030 Collaborative Innovation 

 

Institution: Provincial Government of Manabi

 

Overview: The Provincial Government of Manabí is at the forefront of implementing the 2030 Agenda at the intermediate government level in Ecuador. It has developed a unique methodology and reporting tools to localize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Manabí showcased its commitment by presenting Ecuador's first voluntary local government report on the SDGs in 2023. To advance the 2030 Agenda, the Provincial Government envisions transforming Manabí into a “Smart Territory” through integration of its 4.0 competitiveness policy. The government considers innovation and digital transformation to be fundamental pillars that enhance collaborative processes and act as engines of sustainable development in the province. The Local4Action HUB of Manabí is central to this vision, focusing on consolidating the province as a leader in SDG implementation by fostering innovation and embracing digital transformation.

 

Impact:  To gauge the innovation's impact, specific metrics, which are regularly revised and adapted, have been established across key areas:

  1. Institutional Planning: Digital platforms and results-based methodologies align with the Territorial Development and Planning Plan (PDOT). Success is measured by achieving a compliance target of over 85% in goal setting.
  2. Certifications: The effectiveness and efficiency of certified processes are assessed through: citizen satisfaction percentage; control of planned corrections; compliance with integrated management system (ims) audits; non-compliant output management; institutional risk management; and handling of questions, complaints, suggestions, and information requests.
  3. Monitoring of the 2030 Agenda: A dedicated methodology evaluates the Provincial Government’s contributions to the 17 SDGs. A visual tool tracks progress transparently and has been shared with six local academic institutions to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange.
