According to the latest Human Development Index (HDI) report, Guinea has a Human Development Index of 0.480, ranking 178th out of 191 countries in 2023, reflecting its ongoing struggle with poverty and social development challenges.

La clasificación del gasto público es clave para planificar, monitorear y evaluar políticas orientadas a garantizar derechos y reducir brechas en grupos prioritarios. En Ecuador, los Clasificadores de Orientación de Gasto en Políticas de Igualdad permiten identificar los recursos destinados a enfoques como género, discapacidad, interculturalidad y ciclo de vida.
Desde 2010, el Ministerio de Economía y Finanzas ha incorporado progresivamente estos enfoques en el presupuesto estatal, ampliándolos en 2014 para incluir distintos ejes de igualdad. Actualmente, su uso es obligatorio en las fases de programación y ejecución presupuestaria.
Sin embargo, debido a cambios normativos y necesidades de información, es necesario evaluar su consistencia, uso y alineación con estándares internacionales, así como mejorar herramientas y metodologías para su aplicación.
La consultoría tiene como objetivo realizar un diagnóstico integral de estos clasificadores y, con base en sus resultados, proponer mejoras, desarrollar instrumentos técnicos y diseñar un plan de capacitación que fortalezca su uso para una gestión eficiente del gasto público con enfoque de igualdad.
