On December 22, the General Secretariat for Ecological Planning (SGPE) unveiled a first version of an ambitious roadmap prepared by Laura Létourneau. The main objective of this initiative is to establish a “unsiloed organization”, favoring a more collaborative and integrated approach. To realize this vision, a digital and data strategic committee will be created, co-chaired by the SGPE and the Interministerial Digital Directorate. This committee will supervise the implementation of the 147 actions planned in the document and will be supported by thematic committees, aiming to decompartmentalize the projects. At the same time, an interministerial fund of 250 million euros is planned for the year 2024 in order to finance these initiatives. In this article, we will explore the main components of this roadmap, its implications and the issues related to decompartmentalized governance in the field of ecological planning.
Creation of a Dislocated Organization
The central element of the roadmap is the creation of a “unsiloed organization”. This approach aims to break down traditional barriers between different government entities and foster closer collaboration. The digital and data strategic committee, with its co-presidency between the SGPE and the Interministerial Digital Directorate, embodies this desire for coordination. Its mission will be to oversee the implementation of the measures planned in the roadmap, with an emphasis on the effective use of data and digital technologies to achieve ecological objectives.
Thematic Committees to decompartmentalize projects
The implementation of the 147 actions defined in the roadmap will be supported by thematic committees. The implementation of the 147 actions defined in the roadmap will be supported by thematic committees. The idea is to decompartmentalize projects by promoting an exchange of expertise and encouraging cooperation between the different stakeholders. This collaborative approach should enable greater efficiency in achieving the objectives set, by exploiting synergies and avoiding unnecessary duplication.
