    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato, Facultad de Jurisprudencia y Ciencias Sociales, Carrera de Derecho, 2025-03-28) Guaigua Rivas, Sebastián Jonathan; Vargas Villacrés, Borman Renán
    For the development of this research, the objective was to analyze the impact of administrative decentralization on the efficiency of public management in the city of Ambato. Normative documents such as the Organic Code of Territorial Organization, Autonomy and Decentralization (COOTAD) and the Constitution of Ecuador were analyzed, using digital recorders and software to transcribe and analyze interviews with officials. Specialized literature on administrative decentralization and public management was also consulted. The methodology was qualitative, involving interviews with four key officials in Ambato. The data were transcribed and coded, identifying patterns and categories, and the legal framework was reviewed to contextualize the findings. Among the main findings, it is highlighted that administrative decentralization has brought public management closer to the specific needs of the population, improving the capacity of the Autonomous Decentralized Governments (GAD) to make more contextualized and timely decisions. However, this autonomy has not always been supported by an adequate allocation of financial and technical resources, which has limited the efficiency and coverage of public services. It is recommended to implement adjustments in the normative framework to ensure a more equitable and adequate distribution of financial and technical resources.
