Assessing Ecuador’s Political Environment for Achieving Sustainable Development Goals: Challenges and Opportunities

Ecuador, a developing country in South America, is committed to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. However, the country faces several political challenges that hinder its progress toward the SDGs. This paper analyzes the political environment of Ecuador and its impact on achieving the SDGs. The study is based on a literature review of existing literature on Ecuador’s political environment and its impact on sustainable development. The paper argues that political instability, corruption, weak institutions, and inadequate governance are significant barriers to achieving the SDGs in Ecuador. The research concludes with a set of recommendations to address these challenges and foster sustainable development in the country.
