Abstract

Currently, institutional strengthening aimed at defending and respecting people's rights is considered a priority to move towards sustainable and inclusive development at the global level. However, various challenges hinder progress in these areas, severely affecting the well-being of societies. The questions that trigger this research are: What are the factors that prevent the strengthening of institutions, the rule of law and the guarantee of human rights, and what innovative solutions adapted to the local context can be proposed from the perspective of sustainable development? The research is approached with a qualitative approach since a literature review is made in order to answer the research questions. The main challenges were identified as corruption, the lack of independence of public institutions and weak accountability. These institutional problems generate impunity, legal insecurity, citizen distrust and violation of fundamental rights. To address them, it proposes to strengthen the independence of institutions, implement effective transparency mechanisms, eradicate corrupt practices, involve citizens and decentralize power to local governments. The integral management of public institutions, the strengthening of legality and the guarantee of fundamental rights are key elements to advance towards sustainable and inclusive development. Addressing institutional challenges, promoting democratic governance, and protecting and guaranteeing people's rights and dignity are fundamental strategies for building societies with greater justice and resilience, in line with the global goals of the 2030 Agenda.
