French term or phrase: \"rapports prescripteurs\"

Hi everyone,
I'm stumped by "rapports prescripteurs" in this abstract for a sociology / economics journal. The full abstract is below, with my first draft translation underneath. Any thoughts much appreciated.

L’objet de cet article est de donner à voir la cohérence d’un chantier qu’on appelle communément la Stratégie d’investissement social. Autour d’idées simples (concentrer les moyens sur la jeunesse et l’enfance) et de slogans entêtants (mieux vaut prévenir que guérir), cette Stratégie affiche des objectifs partiels sans parvenir à valoriser ce que pourrait être le chantier une fois achevé. Cet article invitera donc à le faire à travers un questionnement spécifique : le degré de cohérence de la perspective d’Investissement social dans ses référentiels d’action. Ce niveau de réalité sera saisi à travers les grands ***rapports prescripteurs*** mondiaux, régionaux et locaux et à travers la mise en forme des dispositifs de réformes en cours, notamment en France. L’argumentaire montre qu’aujourd’hui la perspective d’investissement social a fait son chemin, s’est frottée à l’épreuve des faits et s’est imposée au point de devenir une option sérieuse pour un imaginaire collectif alternatif.

The aim of the present article is to shed light on the coherence of a project generally known as the Social Investment Strategy. Based on simple ideas (devoting most effort to children and young people) and catchy slogans (prevention is better than cure), the strategy sets out partial objectives yet fails to provide any vision what the project might look like once completed. The article thus sets out to do so by studying the degree of coherence of the Social Investment perspective in its frame of reference for action. This level of reality will be explored through the major rapports prescripteurs at a global, regional, and local level and through the formatting of reforming structures currently underway, particularly in France. The article demonstrates that nowadays the social investment perspective, having been trialled on the ground, has gained traction to the extent that it has become a serious option for an alternative collective imaginary.
