    Proposal of indicators to measure and evaluate governance
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2019-12-07) Aguirre-Sala, Jorge Francisco; Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León-México
    The objective of this article is to propose indicators and an index to measure and evaluate the quality of governance. To this end, it answers the research questions: what is governance? How does it differ from governability and open government? , what should be measured by governance and how should it be measured? The research design proposes a literature review to distinguish between governability, open government and governance and establish what and how governance is measured. The methodology establishes the conditions of the indicators (declarations of their purpose, description, relevance, formula (s), unit of measurement, sources, periodicity and complementary information of a qualitative nature) and indexes from the public governance approach. The main finding consists of the formulas of the indicators and their aggregation in a governance index, based on their characterization and distinction with governability. The originality and value of this contribution endows the agencies, projects and social and political agents involved in the definition and execution of public policies with an evaluation instrument replicable in any democracy. The social implications of having governance indicators impact on the design of government plans and programs with a view to increasing democratic quality.

    Social capital and sustainability in the third sector
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2019-12-04) Zenck, Maria del Carmen; Ríos Rivera, Ingrid; Rodríguez Zapatero, Maribel; Universidad Casa Grande UCG, Guayaquil, Ecuador; Universidad de Córdoba UCO, Córdoba, España
    Within the profile of social enterprise that characterizes non-profit organizations that work in health and welfare areas, institutional sustainability suggests the use of their social capital, networks, relationships and links with various sectors to maintain access and the levels of service to the most vulnerable population, in a context of state regulation, uncertainty in markets and scarce resources. The objective of this research is to analyze management processes to expand coverage and diversify in health care services of an Ecuadorian civil society organization in response to demand for specialized services for people with physical and sensorial limitations, within a national and international regulatory framework; know what local support mechanisms are used, and identify the links and intersectoral networks that contribute to the optimization of resources and the sustainability of social services. Information gathering instruments include documentary analysis, semistructured interviews with collaborators and beneficiaries, as well as a questionnaire applied to external and internal audiences to triangulate data on social capital. The results allow identifying the characteristics of the social enterprise in the market of health services and integral care, the influence of accumulated social capital in the organization and the search for market income as a source of opportunities and challenges for innovation social in Ecuador. It seeks to rescue the entrepreneurial practice of the third sector, the need for public policies that support and encourage them; and enrich the debate on the role of social enterprise in the region and its potential to provide timely services, greater scope and impact.
