Institution or actor responsible for the implementation: the Unit for Access to Public Information (UAIP). New Commitment. Theme: Access to Public Information, Diversity-Gender Commitment description What is the commitment? To include the gender perspective into the system of the Right of Access to Public Information (DAIP), as well as into the production, availability and publication of public information related to the rights of women in Uruguay. To prepare, in conjunction with organizations and public bodies linked to the topic, a manual of good practices to include the gender perspective into the information of specific agencies, areas, policies, programs and plans that are relevant to women's rights. To provide training and disseminate the manual resulting from the exchange process and stress the importance of the right of access to public information for the enforcement of women's rights. What is the problem that the commitment will address? The production, availability and publication of relevant and quality public information to improve and combat inequalities and gaps that impact the exercise of women's right of access to public information and the lack of a gender perspective in transparency policies and access to public information in Uruguay. How will the commitment contribute to solving the problem? The right of access to public information, in itself and as a key to access other rights, is vital to improving the situation of women. In addition, it is essential to have relevant and quality information that it is related to the public policies adopted by the countries regarding the problems, gaps and inequalities that affect women in society. This commitment will contribute directly by specifying what areas and what policies and/or public agencies should produce and make transparent public information that enables and facilitates the exercise of women's rights. OGP value to which this commitment will contribute. The commitment is believed to work towards transparency based on the premise that it will incorporate the gender perspective into the system of Right of Access to Public Information (DAIP), the production, availability and publication of public information related to the rights of women in Uruguay, as well as citizen participation since the manual of good practices will be developed among all the actors involved. Additional Information The commitment is part of a pilot project resulting from what was agreed with the Working Group on Transparency and Gender of the Transparency and Access Network (RTA) (Exchange network between agencies and/or public entities that carry out oversight functions in Transparency and the Right of Access to Public Information in Latin America) that defined the diagnosis of DAIP and the rights of women in the region. This diagnosis would be further developed in the case of five countries: Colombia, Chile, El Salvador, Mexico, and Uruguay. The national reports will be taken as a basis for the present commitment, further elaborating on the condition of women regarding the exercise of the right of access to public information in order to draw up a set of good practices for the incorporation of the perspective of gender into policies on transparency and access to public information.
