Description
To create a national sustainable development strategy by 2050 Commitment start and end date: September 2018 to December 2019 Institution or actor responsible for the implementation: the Office of Budget and Planning (OPP) – the Bureau for Planning. New commitment. Theme: Sustainable Development Commitment description What is the commitment? To formulate through participatory mechanisms that will bring together representatives of State agencies, organized civil society, the private sector and the academia a National Development Strategy for 2050 that will consist of a set of strategic guidelines to be followed by Uruguay to achieve the Uruguay Vision 2050. For the realization of this vision it is necessary to: a) agree on diverse interests that promote collective efforts and guide the policy for future government plans; b) provide clear guidelines that frame the plans of the different agencies; c) establish attainable challenges in a defined horizon; d) frame the actions to be taken to pursue the defined course; and e) generate inputs for today's strategic decision-making that may have an impact on the country's future in the medium and long term. To this end, it was necessary to define two key themes of development: demographic change and the transformation of the production matrix; and three cross-cutting themes: gender systems, cultural development and territorial development. What is the problem that the commitment will address? Uruguay faces serious challenges in the long term. Demographic change, social and cultural inclusion, the transformation of gender relations, territorial inequalities, climate change, technological revolutions, productivity and competitiveness, food security, regional economic integration and globalization are some of these great challenges. The latter, whether they depend mostly on global, regional or domestic factors, give rise to critical uncertainties about Uruguay's future for which the country needs to prepare itself. With one of the highest Human Development Indexes in the region, Uruguay is going through the longest lasting period of GDP growth in the country's recorded history and important changes in the productive matrix, as well as in society, have been taking place. Nonetheless, the long-term view envisions a world in which the pace of change is accelerating, and changes will become increasingly radical and uncertainty will become more severe. How will the commitment contribute to solving the problem? Uruguay faces the challenge of having to undergo structural transformation in order to ensure sustainable development for the future. These transformations require adopting an integrated approach to development that combines macroeconomic, productive, social, cultural and environmental policies. They also involve shifting from a government-based approach to a Statebased approach and shifting from short-term thinking to building of a longer-term future. To this end, the Bureau for Planning uses strategic foresight as a methodological tool, which consists of a systematic and participatory social process that takes in the vision of society in the future, develops medium- and long-term projections aimed at influencing current decisions with an impact on the future, and promotes joint actions. From the articulation of the strategic options in the key themes defined by the Bureau for Planning arise the inputs to formulate a proposal for Uruguay Vision 2050, which is validated in a participatory manner and shall become the guiding beacon of the National Development Strategy. The National Development Strategy provides the strategic framework for the plans of the different State agencies for the next term of government, which in turn define the budget lines. The design of a Monitoring System will be geared towards developing systematic mechanisms for the early warning of changes in the environment with the purpose of providing feedback and updating the information on future scenarios, the desired scenario and the strategic guidelines. OGP value to which this commitment will contribute. In terms of Accountability, forward-looking methodology includes phases of foresight diagnosis that raise visibility of the advances and results of public policies. On the other hand, and surely as a major contribution towards this commitment to strengthen the values of the OGP, Citizen Participation should also be noted. The inputs that will be an integral part of the development strategy have been prepared in consultation with various State agencies, the academia, civil society and representatives of the business and productive sector. Similarly, the synthesis of this process will provide for consultation opportunities. Additional information This planning exercise is a mandatory provision set forth in the Constitution under article 230, which establishes that the OPP has the duty of assisting the Executive Branch in the formulation of Development Plans and Programs. Furthermore, these instruments will undoubtedly help the adoption of coherent polices, the importance of which has been highlighted in the international agenda under target 14 of SDG No.17: "to enhance policy coherence for sustainable development". Objectives and/or milestones Description of objectives and/or milestones Start date - End date To institutionalize the National Planning System through regulations. October 2018 June 2019 To design and develop the participatory process for the formulation of the national sustainable development strategy through at least eight participatory work stages with representatives of civil society, government agencies and the academia. Efforts will be made to ensure equal participation when working with civil society organizations.

IRM Midterm Status Summary
Equidad, desarrollo y ciudadanía
23. Construir una estrategia nacional de desarrollo sostenible hacia 2050
Texto del compromiso como aparece en el plan de acción:
Elaborar de forma participativa junto con representantes de los organismos estatales, sociedad civil organizada, sector privado y academia, una Estrategia Nacional de Desarrollo al 2050 que estará conformada por el conjunto de lineamientos estratégicos que habrá de seguir Uruguay para alcanzar la Visión Uruguay 2050.
Para lograr esta visión es necesario: a) Acordar intereses diversos que propicie la suma de esfuerzos y guie la política de los futuros planes de gobierno; b) Brindar lineamientos claros que enmarquen los planes de los diferentes organismos; c) Establecer desafíos alcanzables en un horizonte definido; d) Enmarcar las acciones a seguir para alcanzar el rumbo definido y e) Generar insumos para la toma de decisiones estratégicas en el presente que puedan tener impacto sobre el devenir nacional en el mediano y largo plazo.
Para ello se definieron dos ejes temáticos claves de desarrollo: el cambio demográfico y la transformación de la matriz productiva; y tres ejes temáticos transversales; sistemas de género, desarrollo cultural y desarrollo territorial.
Los hitos de este compromiso son:
- Institucionalizar el Sistema Nacional de Planificación a través de normativa.
- Diseñar y desarrollar el proceso participativo para la construcción de la Estrategia Nacional de desarrollo sostenible a través de al menos 8 instancias de trabajo participativas con representantes de la sociedad civil, instituciones gubernamentales y academia. Se buscará asegurar una participación paritaria en el trabajo con la sociedad civil.
- Armar y presentar al Poder Ejecutivo del Documento final de la Estrategia Nacional de Desarrollo a 2050.
- Diseñar una herramienta de monitoreo de la Estrategia.
Nota editorial: El texto completo del compromiso se encuentra en el Cuarto Plan de Acción Nacional de Gobierno Abierto de Uruguay 2018-2020, disponible aquí: https://goo.gl/XAMbNr
Fecha de inicio: Septiembre 2018 Fecha de término: Diciembre 2019
Contexto y objetivos
En la región, Uruguay ocupa el tercer lugar en el Índice de Desarrollo Humano y ha tenido un crecimiento económico continuo en los últimos 16 años, durante los cuales se consolidaron también importantes cambios en la matriz productiva y social. Sin embargo, como se expresa en el documento “Hacia la construcción de una Estrategia de Desarrollo Uruguay 2050” [95] se enfrentan otros desafíos a largo plazo como el cambio demográfico, la inclusión social y cultural, la transformación de las relaciones de género, las desigualdades territoriales, el cambio climático, la integración regional, la seguridad alimentaria y la productividad y competitividad, entre otros.
Para enfrentar estos desafíos se hace necesario encarar transformaciones estructurales que permitan un desarrollo sostenible. Estas transformaciones implican adoptar una visión integrada del desarrollo que articule políticas macroeconómicas, productivas, sociales, culturales y ambientales. En este marco, la Oficina de Planeamiento y Presupuesto (OPP) crea en el 2015 la Dirección de Planificación, con el objetivo de asesorar al Poder Ejecutivo con relación a las líneas estratégicas de acción que deberá adoptar el país para el desarrollo sostenible en el largo plazo.
Con este objetivo, la Dirección de Planificación utiliza la prospectiva como herramienta de planificación. La prospectiva constituye una fuente de información y conocimiento que permite anticipar las oportunidades y las amenazas para trazar el camino que conduzca al logro del futuro más deseado. Las dos metas de la Dirección de Planificación para el quinquenio 2015-2019 son la Visión Uruguay 2050 y su consecuente Estrategia Nacional de Desarrollo.
Este compromiso tiene como objetivo institucionalizar el sistema de planificación a través de la normativa y construir, a través de un proceso participativo, la Estrategia Nacional de Desarrollo y su sistema de monitoreo.
La Estrategia Nacional de Desarrollo dará el marco estratégico a los planes de los diferentes organismos estatales para el próximo período de gobierno y se construye en forma participativa a partir de la Visión de Uruguay 2050, articulación de los diferentes escenarios en los ejes temáticos clave definidos por la Dirección de Planificación.
Las acciones previstas en el marco de este compromiso son lo suficientemente específicas para que su cumplimiento se pueda verificar objetivamente. El compromiso es relevante al valor de la participación ciudadana, en tanto generará instancias de trabajo participativas con representantes de la sociedad civil, instituciones gubernamentales y academia para la construcción de la Estrategia Nacional de Desarrollo. De completarse todas las acciones, se considera que el compromiso tendrá un impacto potencial moderado ya que la participación ciudadana está limitada a las instancias de construcción de la estrategia nacional. Sin embargo no se prevé para la elaboración de la herramienta de monitoreo ni para el ejercicio de ese monitoreo. Para obtener la visión de la sociedad civil, se consultó a las personas referentes que participaron en algunas de las mesas de cocreación del plan de acción, pero no se había obtenido respuesta al cierre de este informe [96].
Siguientes pasos
La cocreación de la Estrategia Nacional de Desarrollo a través de un proceso de participación inclusivo de los diversos sectores de la sociedad es un esfuerzo muy valioso en el marco de la apertura del Gobierno siempre y cuando se den las garantías de transparencia y se rinda cuentas en sus distintas etapas. En este sentido, las investigadoras del IRM recomiendan que para cada instancia de participación se establezcan canales de retroalimentación y rendición de cuentas.
Por otra parte, para que el compromiso sea más ambicioso, se recomienda que la herramienta de monitoreo que se desarrolle cumpla con facilitar el ejercicio del control ciudadano de las políticas y no se limite a ser una herramienta de evaluación para los referentes gubernamentales.
