The Elsie Project of the Ministry of National Defense, AUCI and UN Women, continues with information actions aimed at all personnel of the Armed Forces.
The Ministry of National Defense, together with UN Women and the Uruguayan Agency for International Cooperation (AUCI), with the support of the Elsie Initiative, are carrying out the project «Armed Forces of Uruguay - Implementation of strategies and actions to overcome barriers to Women's Meaningful Participation in Peacekeeping", which aims to get more women involved in United Nations peacekeeping missions. Efforts are aimed at ensuring that all women in the Armed Forces know the possibilities of deployment in peace missions.
The Elsie initiative, established by the United Nations and the Government of Canada in 2019, aims to accelerate progress towards gender equality in line with Security Council resolutions and the United Nations Uniform Gender Parity Strategy 2018 -2028. This innovative, multilateral Initiative fund is funded by Australia, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Finland, Norway, the Netherlands, the Republic of Korea and the United Kingdom and supports the sustainable deployment and meaningful participation of women in uniform in the peacekeeping, providing financial assistance and incentives.
