Key messages
This is a summary of the key messages emerging from the open-ended responses of the French stakeholders surveyed, organized by theme.
01
Need for alignment
National strategy ↔ EU strategy
- France is one of the few EU countries with a National Strategy for Global Health (Stratégie française en santé mondiale, 2023–2027), known to 93.9% of respondents. 85.7% support alignment between national and EU strategies.
- France also has a Global Health Ambassador, recognised by 93.9% of respondents. According to respondents, the Ambassador's main roles are representation at international meetings (43.5%) and coordination of national GH actors (34.8%).
- Alignment is seen as a means to strengthen synergies and avoid duplication, while allowing the national strategy to retain its specific priorities and ambitions in areas such as research, development cooperation, and One Health.
02
Communication and implementation
Disseminate, engage, implement
- 85.7% support wider dissemination of the EU GH Strategy, with communication targeting primarily governments and ministries (45.2%) and civil society (28.6%). Social media is the overwhelmingly recommended channel (97.6%).
- Existing stakeholder channels are highly diverse: official publications lead (16.0%), followed by institutional meetings (12.1%), conferences (11.7%), and official website and social media (10.5% each), reflecting France's rich GH ecosystem.
- To strengthen implementation: direct actions (21.7%), working meetings (19.6%), and policy interventions (17.4%) are the most cited approaches, alongside dissemination events (13.0%).
03
National strategy
An established framework for global health
- France has had a National Strategy for Global Health (2023–2027) since 2023, one of the most recent in Europe. 79.1% of those aware of it correctly identify 2023 as its launch year.
- The strategy provides a concrete framework for alignment with the EU GH Strategy, positioning France as a leading actor in European global health coordination.
- The 3 respondents who were unaware of the national strategy consider it important to have one — highlighting that awareness-raising remains necessary even within the French institutional ecosystem.
04
National coordination and key actors
Who does what, and how they talk to each other
- 44.9% report a formal coordination mechanism and 18.4% an informal one. 30.6% don't know. France's GH ecosystem is extensive: AFD, Expertise France, MEAE, ANRS-MIE, IRD, Ministry of Health, INSERM, HAS, Institut Pasteur, CNRS, and Fondation Mérieux, among many others.
- 16.3% of respondents are directly involved in reporting to EU institutions on GH implementation; 14.3% are indirectly involved — reflecting France's active engagement in EU GH governance.
- Strengthening coordination should leverage the existing institutional architecture, focusing on working meetings and direct actions to avoid duplication and unnecessary bureaucracy.
