UNESCO reports that "Ecuador has approved in 2010 a higher education law that requires deposit of graduate and posgraduate thesis in the Higher Education National Information System. It is a country that has been very active in recent years in the development of institutional repositories: 21 digital repositories are registered in ROAR and/or OpenDOAR, mainly higher education institutional repositories with concentration on theses contents."

=== Institutional OER initiatives ===

OportUnidad is a project running from 1 January 2012 to 30 June 2014 aiming "to strengthen and sustain the EU-LA Common Higher Education Area, through a bottom-up approach, by the increasing use of open educational practices and resources (OEP & OER)." It seeks to, among other things, "Raise awareness and widen HEI participation in open educational practices and resources"; "Teach faculty how to use and reuse OER in a pedagogically-rich context and improve their digital competences"; generate a "Compendium of EU-LA OER practices, based on EU and LA experiences"; and organize a "Validated on-line training course in 'Open Educational Practices and Resources' and assisted start-up of OEP" (2) The University Técnica Particular de Loja (UTPL), Ecuador, is one of the partner institutions in the project.
