Uruguay: ensayos e innovaciones. El Plan de Equidad diez años después. Aproximación a su análisis desde una perspectiva institucional (2007-2017)

In the ensemble of public policies formulated and implemented since 2005 in Uruguay, perhaps the Equity Plan could be considered a fundamental piece in social architecture for better understanding the recent transformationsin the social policies domain, which political-ideological foundation was sustained by the intention to reconfigure the social protection model and, taken to an extreme, to provide a comprehensive response from the state to the contemporary expressions of social issues.In this article, the first phase of design and implementation of the Equity Plan (2006 - 2008) is analysed,with an inter sectorial and coordination approach, for understanding it as a relevant example in terms of conjugating the convergence of political and social actors in relatively stable contexts or institutional frameworks (Acuña y Chudnovsky, 2013),and its content has had and still maintains a political and social significance of undoubted impact. The conceptual reference categories are those proposed by Cunill-Grau (2013), in terms of understanding intersectorality as a relatively recent phenomenon in the field of production, design, instrumentation and evaluation of public policies in Latin America.
