Haut-Commissariat à la Stratégie et au Plan
The Haut-Commissariat à la Stratégie et au Plan (HCSP, lit. 'High Commission for Strategy and Planning') is an advisory body reporting to the government of France, which took its present name and form in May 2025. It was originally founded in the context of the Monnet Plan, intended to address resource scarcity in France in the immediate aftermath of World War II.
With relatively minor changes to its role, it has been successively known as the Commissariat Général du Plan (CGP, lit. 'General Planning Commission', 1946-2006), Centre d'Analyse Stratégique (CAS, lit. 'Center for Strategic Analysis', 2006-2013), Commissariat Général à la Stratégie et à la Prospective (CGSP, lit. 'General Commission for Strategy and Foresight', 2013-2014), and France Stratégie (lit. 'France Strategy', 2014-2025); it has also absorbed the Haut-Commissariat au Plan (HCP, lit. 'High Commission for Planning', 2020-2025), a separate body whose name referred to the original Commissariat Général. All these organizations have been known colloquially as "le Plan" (lit. 'the Plan').
