Democratic transitions in Latin America have been met with a growing focus on building the capacity of NGOs. In Ecuador, organizations are interested in observing more the values of ethics, accountability, and transparency in their management practices and have external pressures to do so from government, donors, and the public at large. However, in previous literature, it has been identified that NGO leaders in Ecuador perceive that NGO education created and delivered in higher education institutions does not meet the demands of the sector. This assumption had not been systematically tested. As such, I systematically analyzed the curricular content of an NGO management course at an Ecuadorian university to assess if it meets the demand. I provide recommendations for ways in which courses at universities can better meet the demands of the sector and propose several avenues for further research.
