Necesidades Institucionales<br />

Carlos E. Quevedo<br />

Se planitkan 10s proyectos de electrificacicin rural<br />

de1 Ecuador, que emplean pequenas centrales hidro-<br />

electricas, en un contexto de sus relaciones institu-<br />

cionales a fin de poder utilizar todos 10s recursos<br />

disponibles para asegurar el exit0 de1 proyecto.<br />

Carlos E. Quevedo presenta estas relaciones,<br />

destacando la distincion entre las instituciones de<br />

organization y las funcionales en el desarrollo de las<br />

pequenas centrales hidroelectricas en el Ecuador.<br />

Intrsduecih<br />

El presente trabajo tiene por objet0 analizar 10s<br />

requerimientos institucionales, que sustenten la<br />

diseminacion de microcentrales hidraulicas en el area<br />

rural. El trabajo se refiere particularmente a<br />

Ecuador, sinembargo, las consideraciones que se<br />

establecen, son aplicables a multiples pakes en<br />

desarrollo.<br />

Metodologia<br />

Se establece un marco teorico, para el anahsis y<br />

este procede, a partir de la exploration de la<br />

naturaleza de las actividades que conforman el pro-<br />

grama de desarrolio (Figura 1).<br />

Consideraciones Semhnticas<br />

El termino “institucibn” tiene multiples<br />

significados. En el presente trabajo se utilizaran dos<br />

de ellos, que se diferenciaran mediante 10s sufijcs 1<br />

Y 2.<br />

Institution 1 representa una sociedsd con obje-<br />

tivos y normas de action preestablecidas (in-<br />

stitucion privada, publica, etc.) y constituye un su-<br />

jeto de action.<br />

Institucidn 2 representa un mecanismo operativo,<br />

usualmente intangible, y Fuede ser legal, contrac-<br />

tual, tknico, etc. Ejernplos, un convenio en el que<br />

se establecen actividades por ejecutar y respon-<br />

sabilidades, un manual ticnico de disefio, un<br />

manual de mantcnimiento de una maquina, etc.<br />

Carlos E. Quevedo<br />

Rural electrification projects in Ecuador<br />

employing small hydro are planned in a context<br />

of institutional relationships to make use of all<br />

possible resources and to ensure project suc-<br />

cess. Carlos E. Quevedo presents these relation-<br />

ships, drawing the distinction between organiza-<br />

tional and functional institutions that are<br />

involved in the development of small hydro in<br />

Ecuador.<br />

Introduction<br />

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the in-<br />

stitutional requirements which would support the<br />

dissemination of microhydropower plants in rural<br />

areas. Although the paper refers particularly to<br />

Ecuador, the premises established are applicable<br />

to other developing countries as well.<br />

Methodology<br />

A theoretical framework is established for the<br />

analysis and uses as a point of departure from<br />

exploration of the nature of the ac!ivities which<br />

conform to the development program (Figure 1).<br />

Theoretical Framework:<br />

Semantic Corusiderations<br />

The term “institution” has multiple definitions.<br />

In this paper we will use two of them, grouping<br />

them in subtypes 1 and 2.<br />

Institution 1 represents a society with objec-<br />

tives and pre-established activity policies<br />

(private institution, public institution, etc.) and<br />

constitutes a subject of activity.<br />

Institution 2 represents a functional<br />

mechanism, usually intangible, and may be<br />

legal, contractual, technical, etc: for example,<br />

an agreement establishing activities to be im-<br />

plemented, responsibilities, a maintenance<br />

manual for a machine, etc.
