1. Target audience

The domestic public-narrative and advocacy campaign is designed around the following priority audience groups, each requiring tailored messaging, tone and channels:

2. Planned activities

Assignment preparation

•     Review existing documents and prior communication on privatization developed by the Ministry, SPFU and other State institutions; assess coherence and identify communication gaps.

•     Map the key problems, public concerns, myths, objections and communication gaps surrounding privatisation, across the target audiences above.

•     Develop the core privatization narrative and the three-month editorial plan; present it to Expertise France and the Ministry.

Phase I — Narrative development and editorial planning

•     Develop an overarching privatization narrative and specific narratives for: full and partial privatisation, distressed assets, investor attraction, post-privatization support, and State ownership.

•     Maintain a rolling editorial plan identifying topics, hooks, formats, channels, authors and deadlines.

•     Independently propose new topics and formats in response to the political and information environment, rather than only responding to individual requests.

Phase II — Content production and placement

•     Personally draft posts, articles, opinion pieces, analytical publications, Q&A, speeches, talking points and expert explainers.

•     Take products through to actual publication — not only through official Ministry channels, but through partner, expert, business association and media platforms.

•     Deliver at least four substantive public communication outputs on privatization each month.

Phase III — Coordination and advocacy

•     Coordinate key messages among the main public-sector stakeholders (Ministry of Economy, SPFU, and other relevant institutions).

•     Hold regular coordination calls with the SPFU-side Communication Support Expert on Privatization to keep messaging consistent and avoid duplication.

•     Support advocacy for legislative, regulatory and institutional decisions related to privatisation.

Phase IV — Monitoring and risk management

•     Monitor public and expert reaction, information risks and resistance to reform.

•     Maintain and regularly update the information-risk map, with recommendations on the next communication actions.

•     Rapidly adjust topics, messages and formats in response to monitoring findings.
