The Ecuadorian National Assembly is set to temporarily relocate to Guayaquil for a week, commencing from February 20 to February 25. This move aims to facilitate the approval of two urgent economic projects that pertain to the effectiveness of spending in Decentralized Autonomous Governments, as well as reforms in the mining and electrical sectors. The sessions will highlight the Assembly's commitment to addressing pressing economic issues while engaging with local governance structures more directly.

Legislators will convene three plenary sessions during this timeframe, with the first scheduled for Friday, February 20, at 11:00 AM at the Universidad Ecotec in Samborondón, Guayas. Under the leadership of Assembly President Niels Olsen, the agenda includes critical discussions and decisions regarding the organic reform bill to enhance the Code of Territorial Organization, Autonomy and Decentralization for sustainability and efficiency. This session underlines the Assembly's proactive approach to legislative duties, bringing governance closer to the citizenry.

This initiative marks a significant engagement of the National Assembly with local entities, potentially improving cooperation between national and local governments. By addressing local concerns through these sessions, there may be heightened accountability and enhanced efficacy in the implementation of policies affecting the local autonomous governments and the resource management sectors. The outcomes of these sessions could lead to substantial changes in the operational frameworks of local governance and resource sectors in Ecuador.
