Agence nationale de la cohésion des territoires

Announced by the President of the Republic during the National Conference of Territories in 2017 and created by the law of July 22, 2019, the National Agency for Territorial Cohesion (ANCT) was set up on January 1, 2020.

Born from the merger of the General Commission for Territorial Equality, Epareca and the Digital Agency, the ANCT is a new partner for local authorities. Its creation marks a profound transformation of the action of the State: an action now more in line with the local authorities to ensure the success of their territorial projects.
