The discussion applies in particular to the local development agency of the city of Rivera (ADR), located in the northeast of the country. A descriptive, mixed, bibliographic, documentary investigation was carried out with primary data collection to internal and external references to ADR. The results show that the coexistence of both institutions has been difficult, without defining clear roles. Promoting dialogue to define the role of each seems to be the great challenge facing the sustainability of the agency metadata Garat de Marin, Mirtha Silvana; Soriano Flores, Emmanuel; Rodríguez Velasco, Carmen Lilí; Silva Alvarado, Eduardo; Calderón Iglesias, Rubén; Álvarez, Roberto Marcelo and Gracia Villar, Santos mail silvana.marin@uneatlantico.es, emmanuel.soriano@uneatlantico.es, carmen.rodriguez@uneatlantico.es, UNSPECIFIED, ruben.calderon@uneatlantico.es, roberto.alvarez@uneatlantico.es, santos.gracia@uneatlantico.es <http://repositorio.unib.org/id/eprint/3546/1/socsci-11-00398%20%283%29.pdf> (2022) Development Agencies and Local Governments—Coexistence within the Same Territory.
