About
Overview:This Programme is grounded in a sustainable development perspective based on the essential nature of a genuine freedom for citizens: cultural freedom. Its main objective is the strengthening of cultural industries[1] in Uruguay and improvement of access to cultural goods and services. In this regard, the programme will contribute to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in general, and in particular Goals 1, 3 and 8: eradication of extreme poverty and hunger, promotion of gender equality and empowerment of women and development of a Global Partnership for Development. The promotion and protection of cultural diversity is integrated into all the aims and activities in accordance with the commitments undertaken by Uruguay following its recent ratification of the relevant Convention. The Programme is also in line with national priorities designed to: a) achieve sustained and sustainable economic growth through increased involvement of knowledge and innovation in productive processes; b) drive a national decentralisation project which emphasises a national political vision and which promotes social integration; c) reverse the processes of social exclusion and inequality through the modernisation and strengthening of new sectoral social policies; d) promote the democratic transformation of the State, equipping and orientating it for synergic organisation of public and private resources in relation to these objectives. The Programme’s expected outcomes will have a direct impact on these national challenges and are designed both to build capacities and to last beyond the implementation period, thus ensuring the sustainability of the activities undertaken. The resources sought from the UNDP Spain MDG Achievement Fund would be used to support:
