“…In 2004, the percentage of poor in Latin America reached 46.9% [ 47 ], much higher than it was the case in 1990 [ 48 ]. The political and economic instability in several Latin American countries (Brazil 1990, Mexico 1995, Ecuador 2000, Bolivia and Argentina 2002) [ 4 ] coincided with the largest increase in inequality (Gini Index) [ 5 ], all of which made it difficult to meet the objectives of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals agenda [ 1 ]. Despite chronic political conflicts, liberalization policies have been consistently pursued.…”

“…This is the first study in Ecuador that explored the coverage and inequalities pertaining to seven essential RMNCH and sanitary interventions at national and sub-national levels in This is significant because Ecuador, like other countries in Latin America, has endured economic crisis and political instability through this period of time. Of all presidents democratically elected from 1970 to 2003 in the region, 23% were forced to leave their positions before the end of their terms and 40% faced challenges in their tenure [4,46]. In 2004, the percentage of poor in Latin America reached 46.9% [47], much higher than it was the case in 1990 [48].…”

“…The widespread adoption of neo-liberal economic growth strategies has increased poverty and widened income inequalities in the provision of health services [2,3]. In countries such as Ecuador, Bolivia, Argentina and Brazil, periods of greatest economic and political crisis coincide with marked increases in inequality, as measured by the Gini Index [4,5].…”

Background Latin America (LA) has experienced constant economic and political crises that coincide with periods of greater inequality. Between 1996 and 2007 Ecuador went through one of the greatest political and socio-economic crises in Latin America, a product of neo-liberal economic growth strategies. Between 2007 and 2012 it regained political stability, promoted redistributive policies, and initiated greater social spending. To understand the possible influence on the political and economic context, we analyzed the coverage and inequalities in five Reproductive, Maternal, and Child Health (RMNCH) and two water and sanitation interventions using survey data from a broad time window (1994–2012), at a national and subnational level. Methods The series cross-sectional study used data from four representative national health surveys (1994, 1999, 2004 and 2012). Coverage of RMNCH and sanitary interventions were stratified by wealth quintiles (as a measure of the socio-economic level), urban-rural residence and the coverage for each province was mapped. Mean difference, Theil index and Variance-weighted least squares regression were calculated to indicate subnational and temporal changes. Results From 1994 to 2004, Ecuador evidenced large inequalities whose reduction becomes more evident in 2012. Coverage in RMNCH health service-related interventions showed a rather unequal distribution among the socioeconomic status and across provinces in 1994 and 2004, compared to 2012. Sanitary interventions on the contrary, showed the most unequal interventions, and failed to improve or even worsened in several provinces. While there is a temporary improvement also at the subnational level, in 2012 several provinces maintain low levels of coverage. Conclusions The remarkable reduction of inequalities in coverage of RMNCH interventions in 2012 clearly coincides with periods of regained political stability, promoted redistributive policies, and greater social spending, different from the former neo-liberal reforms which is consistent with observations made in other Latin American countries. Territorial heterogeneity and great inequalities specially related with sanitation interventions persists. It is necessary to obtain high quality information with sharper geographic desegregation that allows to identify and understand local changes over time. This would help to prioritize intervention strategies, introduce multisectoral policies and investments that support local governments.

El presente trabajo de investigación presenta un análisis acerca de Martín Vizcarra como actor político en el marco de las consecuencias políticas y judiciales en relación con el tema de corrupción que se le acusa, primero, como gobernador regional de Moquegua (2011-2014), luego, como Ministro de Transportes y Comunicaciones del Perú (2016-2017), y, posteriormente, como máxima autoridad del país (2018-2021). Metodológicamente, se emplea la información obtenida de la documentación periodística y la estadística. En el trabajo se señala que Vizcarra construye estratégicamente una identidad política con la que se opone a la corrupción y con la que contrarresta las acusaciones o denuncias de delitos durante sus distintas gestiones contra la administración pública peruana para favorecer su imagen como político.
