In Uruguay, the MDG-F worked to strengthen the cultural and creative industries, generate quality jobs, improve the production of handicrafts, develop small and medium cultural enterprises, and increase the competitiveness of Uruguay’s cultural goods and services. One of its goals was, by developing the arts, to strengthen the sense of belonging of Uruguayans, particularly youth.
