Country: France
In order to continuously improve public policies and correct any deployment difficulties, the French Government has set up a data-driven steering system that allows it to monitor the results of more than 60 priority policies across all departments in its territory. This system is embodied by an internal steering and monitoring tool (PILOTE) and a citizen information site presenting the results in open data.
The Innovation Fund for Development (Fonds d'Innovation pour le Développement) is a new and ambitious funding mechanism. It offers grants to innovators and researchers to experiment, take strategic risks and demonstrate the impact of solutions aimed at reducing poverty and inequality. It enables teams from all types of organisations to test new ideas and put innovation and research at the service of transforming public development policies.
#MyFrance2022 is the largest online citizen consultation ever conducted by a public media in France. It allowed one million French people to express their priorities and to engage in direct conversation with the candidates in the run-up to the presidential election. This massive and unprecedented consultation sought to respond to the democratic urgency of placing the voice of citizens at the heart of political debates during a democratic crucial period like the presidential campaign.
Tackling the effects of rising urban heat goes beyond objective physical measurements. For sure, technical services are in need of blended indicators about the effects of local policies: under which conditions tree planting, fountains, urban design contribute to reduce island heats. The project has created such tools, but is also willing to take seriously into account the subjectivity, the perceived heat, the sensations of our citizens, for they contribute hugely to our collective resilience.
