The National Employment Directorate of Uruguay is developing a process of organisational restructuring and strategic planning that improves the articulation of active employment and vocational training policies in the country.
Since mid-May, within the framework of the European Union EUROsociAL+ Programme, the second phase of technical assistance (online) for the National Directorate of Employment (DINAE) of Uruguay’s Ministry of Labour and Social Security is being carried out.
The objective is, in particular, to accompany the Ministry teams in the clarification of functions, internal reorganisation and strategic planning of the Directorate within the framework of the action to Strengthen the articulation of Active Employment and Vocational Training Policies in Uruguay. A citizen-oriented organisational restructuring process is being developed by focusing on a managing for results approach, including the conception of public policies as comprehensive and complementary.
In this sense, Uruguay’s Ministry of Labour and Social Security has also decided to develop a series of collective meetings on strategic issues for the Directorate and the Ministry of Labour itself on various topics: the comprehensiveness of public policies, the labour market and decentralisation. These talks aim, on the one hand, to reflect on the challenge of moving towards a more comprehensive management of public policies in the labour market; and on the other, to enrich the strategic planning process through the perspective and inputs provided by other local, national and international institutions and agencies.
The dates of the talks were as follows: 25 June “From planning to implementation: the challenges of comprehensive public management”; on 1 July “The national and regional labour market in the current situation” and “Possible responses from employment and training policies”; and on 3 July “Territories, decentralisation and employment and professional training policies”.
