Impact of a new linkage strategy to improve the quality of life of the Jujan community

Abstract

The linkage projects represent an advantage in the development processes of communities in a state of poverty or vulnerability, since they work systematically to achieve objectives that serve as a solution to the problems that afflict the people who live in these places. On the other hand, linkage projects are also recognized as a useful tool for educational institutions to have real approaches with the communities, and that these experiences can contribute to the integral formation of their students. For this reason, the main objective of this study is to propose, through the Instituto Superior Tecnológico EuroAmericano, a linkage strategy focused on the case of the Jujan canton. In order to determine which is the ideal strategy for the case studied, the method of bibliographic review was used to study similar cases where strategies that allow the economic development of this type of communities have been applied. Based on the information found, it was determined that the best option in the case of Jujan is to focus the linkage strategies on animal husbandry projects in the homes of the families in the community.
