Spanish term or phrase: dotar de una organización uniforme
The full sentence from an essay on Argentine history is:
En el año 1884, en el marco de las campañas militares a la Patagonia y el Chaco, el gobierno presentó un nuevo proyecto destinado a dotar de una organización uniforme a los de Territorios Nacionales.

I don't understand the use of dotar de una organizacion.

Any help would be appreciated.
