Barometer of the results of public action

The barometer of the results of public action

The barometer of the results of public action embodies a strong and unprecedented presidential commitment under the Fifth Republic: transparency of the results of public action. It also demonstrates the Government’s determination to improve the daily lives of citizens in each territory, to accelerate the implementation of reforms and to strengthen the evaluation of public action, through results and data steering.

Accessible online on the website government.fr since January 2021, the barometer allows every citizen to monitor the actions of the Government, political by policy, territory by territory.

Structure of the barometer of results

Nearly 30 government priority policies are published in the first version of the barometer, around 8 key themes of citizens’ daily lives:
—Education — youth
— Economy — employment
— Ecological transition
— Agriculture
— Safety
— Justice
— Health — family — disability
— Accommodation
— Public services — territories
— Culture — sports

For each barometer priority policy, the measurement of the outcome of public action is based on a specific indicator that has declined both nationally and locally, showing the initial situation since 2017, the present value, as well as the target in 2022. Finer values are also made available to provide visibility on the evolution of results.

The barometer will be regularly updated and will be enriched with new priority policies.
