Resumen
El presente documento se desarrolla en cuatro capítulos que integran la investigación desde lo más general hasta lo más específico. El marco general abarca el análisis de la gestión y la estructura institucional y de la Asesoría hasta llegar a lo específico donde se plantea la propuesta de fortalecimiento de la gestión de la cooperación internacional en el Instituto Nacional de Aprendizaje (INA).
En el primer capítulo se abarcan los conceptos básicos y la estructura de la cooperación internacional que permiten al lector comprender el marco de trabajo que se realiza en este ámbito. De igual manera, se desarrollan los aspectos necesarios para interpretar adecuadamente la terminología de la cooperación y se hace referencia a documentación provista por los rectores de la cooperación internacional en el país, el Ministerio de Planificación y Política Económica (MIDEPLAN) y el Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores y Culto. También se señala la importancia de las Redes Internacionales, los procesos de internacionalización y la gestión estratégica en una oficina de cooperación internacional.
A partir del segundo capítulo se desarrolla una breve descripción sobre el INA y los antecedentes de la Asesoría de Cooperación Externa abarcando los objetivos, estructura, funciones y ejes estratégicos de la oficina para comprender cómo funciona la gestión institucional y de la Asesoría en el marco de la cooperación internacional.
El análisis de la información en el capítulo dos es la referencia para elaborar el tercer capítulo que está enfocado en un diagnóstico de la oficina desde los aspectos normativos, administrativos y técnicos que afectan el buen accionar de la Asesoría. En primera instancia, al ser la oficina una dependencia de la Presidencia Ejecutiva, se hace mención a los aspectos normativos como el organigrama institucional y la ubicación estratégica en esta estructura. Se hace énfasis en la necesidad de incluir nuevos análisis sobre esta ubicación con el objetivo de lograr una integración adecuada de la Asesoría en los distintos ámbitos que comprende una
institución de formación profesional, así como en su capacidad de respuesta ante las dinámicas internacionales que afectan los modelos de gestión de la cooperación.
Con la información recabada en los capítulos anteriores, se realizó el diseño de propuesta para fortalecimiento de la gestión de la Asesoría de Cooperación Externa del INA en el capítulo cuatro. A partir de este punto se plantean elementos de interés para la oficina, con el fin de promover una mejora sostenible en los servicios que ofrece la institución a partir del aporte de la cooperación internacional.
Los elementos presentados están enfocados en promover la Cooperación Técnica entre países en Desarrollo (CTPD) e incluir nuevas metodologías de trabajo en la gestión misma de la Asesoría. Para lograr el objetivo, se elaboran recomendaciones sobre las necesidades que una oficina de cooperación internacional requiere con elementos de innovación y competitividad para causar un mayor impacto en la institución.
La propuesta incluye aspectos no solo innovadores, sino también estratégicos para atender las necesidades desde un enfoque técnico, administrativo y normativo que permita a la Asesoría lograr una correcta gestión de la cooperación internacional en una institución de formación profesional como el INA en un país en vías de desarrollo.
Esta propuesta pretende ser una solución integral para las necesidades de desarrollo social y económico fundamentada desde la cooperación internacional. La obligación de la Asesoría gira en torno a obtener los mayores resultados con pocos recursos institucionales y que impacten en el Sistema de Capacitación de Formación Profesional (SCFP) de la Institución.
This document is developed in four chapters that integrate the research from the most general to the most specific. The general framework covers the analysis of the management and institutional structure and of the Advisory Office until reaching the specific part where the proposal for strengthening the management of international cooperation in the National Learning Institute (INA) is presented. The first chapter covers the basic concepts and structure of international cooperation that allow the reader to understand the framework of work carried out in this field. Likewise, the necessary aspects to properly interpret the terminology of cooperation are developed and reference is made to documentation provided by the country's international cooperation authorities, the Ministry of Planning and Economic Policy (MIDEPLAN) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Worship. The importance of international networks, internationalization processes and strategic management in an international cooperation office is also pointed out. The second chapter provides a brief description of INA and the background of the External Cooperation Advisory Office, including the objectives, structure, functions and strategic axes of the office in order to understand how the institutional management and the Advisory Office work within the framework of international cooperation. The analysis of the information in chapter two is the reference to elaborate the third chapter, which is focused on a diagnosis of the office from the normative, administrative and technical aspects that affect the good performance of the Advisory Office. In the first instance, since the office is a dependency of the Executive Presidency, mention is made of the normative aspects such as the institutional organization chart and the strategic location in this structure. Emphasis is placed on the need to include new analyses of this location in order to achieve an adequate integration of the Advisory Office in the different areas that comprise a professional training institution, as well as in its capacity to respond to the international dynamics that affect cooperation management models. With the information gathered in the previous chapters, a proposal for strengthening the management of INA's External Cooperation Advisory Office was designed in chapter four. From this point on, elements of interest for the office are proposed, in order to promote a sustainable improvement in the services offered by the institution based on the contribution of international cooperation. The elements presented are focused on promoting Technical Cooperation among Developing Countries (TCDC) and including new work methodologies in the management of the Advisory Office itself. To achieve the objective, recommendations are made on the needs that an international cooperation office requires with elements of innovation and competitiveness to have a greater impact on the institution. The proposal includes not only innovative aspects, but also strategic aspects to meet the needs from a technical, administrative and regulatory approach that will allow the Advisory Office to achieve a correct management of international cooperation in a professional training institution such as INA in a developing country. This proposal aims to be an integral solution to the needs of social and economic development based on international cooperation. The obligation of the Consultancy revolves around obtaining the best results with few institutional resources and that have an impact on the Institution's Vocational Training System (SCFP).
