It is also used in university education as a tool for planning, executing and assessing initiatives linked to society. Some of its advantages must be mentioned such as: simple format, high degree of detail in each procedure, stimulates the participation of the beneficiaries, consensus and empowerment of the community and ensures the viability of the components and planned actions. It allows providing culturally congruent care with emphasis on the promotion of health to social groups in the field of Nursing, as well as developing valuable experiences in these professionals. This review article details how this methodology and its interaction techniques with the community allow the preparation, execution and monitoring of projects in the Ecuadorian context.
