This post compiles documents which demonstrate the tremendous progress (poverty reduction, inequality reduction, improvements in health, education and infrastructure, modest economic growth and stability) made in Ecuador over 2007-2016, with the government led by Rafael Correa; and then the damage inflicted by the administration of Lenin Moreno, who ran for election on a platform of continuity then betrayed all his promises. The post will be updated from time to time.
