The university maintains interactions between social formation processes and society; as an institution, it is regulated by state regulatory entities that promote significant institutional transformations that force them to adapt to constitutional, legal and planning requirements. The objective of this research is to analyze the entailment between the accounting training of the Accounting and Audit program of the Universidad Católica de Cuenca and the National Development Plan 2017-2021 of Ecuador. For this, the interpretive hermeneutical method was used, through the bibliographic and documentary review. The results show the objectives, challenges and initiatives related to the accounting profession; the needs and goals of the problems to study, intervene and transform, the basic disciplinary cores of the program, and the link between them. It is concluded that there is a link between the context and the objectives of the National Development Plan and the professional training offered; distinguishing problems such as the difficulty of access to education, participation in the productive sector, the lack of technical advice, investment, motivation and institutional trust as significant challenges faced with the disciplinary cores of accounting and finance, regulation and control, administrative and economic sciences.

The chapter explores and describes community participation in the National Development Plan through Primary Health Care by using case studies of LGBT organizations in South Africa. Post-Apartheid and democratic South Africa has endorsed community participation as one of the fundamental pillars of the public Primary Health Care approach in its governance structures. This chapter focuses on the current major health issue in South Africa, the HIV epidemic, which is one of the leading causes of death in the country. Particular attention is paid to members of the LGBT community because of their discrimination in public healthcare facilities on grounds of their sexual orientation. The chapter relies on secondary sources of data collection from extant literature, textbooks, journal articles, and internet sources. Challenges to address LGBT community discrimination in HIV testing, prevention, treatment, care, and support were identified and solutions to uphold their human rights were proffered. These solutions are based on the principles of social justice, inclusion, diversity, and equality.

This paper, which is based on a recent research project, offers an insight into the experience of integration of Strategic EnvironmentalAssessment (SEA) within government policy-making in Ireland, and Greater Dublin in particular. This is materialised by means of appraising the degree of integration of the Eco-Audit process with the transport policy-making process of the Irish National Development Plan (2000–2006). The recent establishment of the Eco-Audit guidelines by the Irish government in 1999 is the first attempt to institutionalise a type of policy-SEA in Ireland and one of few internationally. Therefore, it can be seen as a "good practice" case study that could potentially provide the context for transference of experience on SEA integration in similar institutional settings in other countries as well in different decision-making levels within Ireland. The paper concludes that this initiative undoubtedly promotes SEA practice at a sensitive government policy level and provides useful ideas for further SEA integration in the future shaping of the Eco-Audit model.
