Abstract:

This study will examine the role of a transnational nongovernmental organization: CARE in dealing with the situation in the southern border region of Ecuador after the signing the signing of a historic peace agreement on October 26, 1998 that put an end to a prolonged border dispute between Ecuador and Peru. The dispute had last erupted into a violent conflict in 1995, but its existence had contributed to the lack of development in the border regions of both countries. Agreement was achieved through astute international mediation efforts that involved a commitment to establish a Binational Plan of Development for the Border Region.

This case study analyzes the decision by CARE to submit a proposal to the U.S. Agency for International Development (U.S. AID) to develop the border region that was accepted. In October 2000 CARE signed with U.S.AID a $19.3 million agreement to carry out the Program of Sustainability and Regional Union (PSUR) for a five year period. The paper examines how this decision was made and implemented. It applies a framework for analyzing decision-making developed for classes in policy analysis and utilizes interviews conducted by the author in Ecuador in December 2004.
