The Objectives and Performance Agreement (OPG) is designed to support the new National Health Strategy and to reflect evolving knowledge about the health status of the population, while taking full account of the various interactions between living environments, lifestyle habits, the emergence of infectious diseases, and chronic conditions. It also incorporates lessons learned from the COVID-19 crisis and places the “One Health” concept at the heart of its work.
With this new COP, Santé publique France reaffirms its ambition: that of a strengthened, more effective public health system, characterized by scientific rigor as well as openness and dialogue with society, working closely with populations and regions throughout mainland France, Corsica, and the overseas territories. The COP’s guidelines underscore the Agency’s commitment to maintaining and developing expertise that supports public policy—scientifically independent and serving decision-makers—and to producing knowledge and information useful to the public and stakeholders.
What are the main priorities of the 2024–2028 Strategic Plan?
The 2024–2028 Strategic Plan is structured around four main priorities that reflect the continuum of Santé publique France’s missions. These priorities are broken down into operational objectives aimed at strengthening the Agency’s impact in support of the priorities defined by public policy.
Priority 1 - Innovate and advance knowledge to enhance the effectiveness of public health interventions
Axis 2 - Ensuring a responsive reaction to health threats and anticipating the management of successive or simultaneous health crises
Priority 3 - An open agency of expertise, working closely with regions and localities
Axis 4 - An effective and accountable agency
The COP is thus part of the agency’s strategy based on expertise, openness, and innovation.
“This new Strategic Plan reflects an ambitious vision for the future of public health in France. It draws in particular on the lessons learned from the COVID-19 crisis and on the national health strategy to strengthen our impact and effectiveness. The Agency’s strength lies in its collective effort, supported by a network of national and regional offices. Every staff member works every day to make the commitments outlined in this new Strategic Plan a reality. The Agency’s strength also lies in the diversity of its partners, both nationally and internationally, who contribute to the success of our initiatives for the benefit of the population, and in particular the most vulnerable.
With this COP, we aim to collectively build a stronger, more effective public health system, characterized by scientific rigor, where openness and dialogue with society play a vital role.”
Caroline Semaille, Director General of Santé publique France
