19/11/2020
The Agenda includes a revision of the path we have been through until today in the digital transformation and introduces the pillars: Social Policies and Inclusion, Sustainable Economic Growth, Government Management and Governance for the Information Society. The objectives and goals of each pillar are included, as well as the execution frames. This Agenda is executed to foster the progress of the society of information and knowledge, motivating other persons, companies, and the Government to make better use of the technologies of information and communication. The agenda includes the missions allocated to the Agency of e-Government and the Information and Knowledge Society and the Society of Information and Knowledge of the Presidency of the Republic.

The Council for the Information Society was created in order to advise on the country’s digital agenda, and is a body that provides guidance in the drafting and prioritisation processes, as well as on the monitoring and assessment of the initiatives contained in the agenda.

Likewise, the Council decided to include goal 47 in the Agenda:

47. Address, in the framework of the Council for the Information Society, a set of challenges for digital transformation that could be incorporated as new commitments in the mid-term evaluation of the “Agenda Uruguay Digital 2020”: (a) Create a national information technology research centre; (b) Include the teaching of computer science as a subject in secondary education.

Monitoring and evaluation will be conducted with the focal points in the responsible institutions based on the quarterly monitoring of the battery of indicators defined for each goal and taking into account gender and diversity mainstreaming. The Council will be convened semiannually to discuss the progress in the implementation of the actions. Reports on the implementation of this agenda shall be prepared and published annually and its discussion shall be promoted in the instances of dialogue with all the stakeholders in the Uruguayan Internet Governance Forum.

This information shall serve as input for the mid-term evaluation to be conducted in 2018 and, if required, the agenda shall be updated bearing in mind the changes in the environment and the outcomes obtained at the time of the review.
