France Stratégie's Annual Activity Report for 2016 highlights the institution's role in a year marked by significant demands and political challenges. The report outlines France Stratégie's engagement in a comprehensive project for the period 2017-2027, which aimed to provide a forward-looking analysis of the country's state, prospects, and major decision-making points.
Key aspects of this initiative included:
- Decadal Perspective: By focusing on a ten-year timeframe, the project sought to enable investments that could yield long-term benefits.
- Analytical Approach: This involved detailed diagnosis and exploration of potential options.
- Respect for Political Choices: France Stratégie's role was to present options rather than dictate decisions, adhering to democratic processes.
- Engagement through Consultation: The project received over 200 contributions and organized twelve debates across various cities and online platforms, including podcasts, to foster a broad public discussion.
- Transparency: All content was published on the dedicated website francestrategie1727.fr.
The 2016 activity report also delved into key themes such as technological revolutions, labor market transformations, environmental transitions, and fiscal strategies. These were addressed through thirteen thematic notes published from March to August 2016, followed by fourteen "critical actions" between December 2016 and February 2017, which focused on more specific areas requiring substantial societal change.
This ambitious exercise not only showcased France Stratégie's expertise but also emphasized its commitment to inclusivity and transparency. The project was designed to be open-ended, encouraging diverse stakeholders' participation and providing a platform for informed public debate ahead of the upcoming electoral period.
