The Programmatic National Coalition (Gaullican: Coalition Nationale Programmatique) or commonly abbreviated CONAPRO was a centre to right wing electoral coalition in Puramape, created in 1978 and dissolved in 2005. It was the largest political force in the Senate during most of its existence.

It was formed in 1978 by initiative of the former premier and leader of the UCR, Louis Geiger Maitre, in an effort to consolidate the domination of Radicalism in Puramape as well as preventing a possible government from the recently founded left coalition Front for People's Participation. Since its creation until 2000, the coalition won every general election and held the office of the premier. Although the radicalism got a clear dominance over the coalition's structure one of the premiers, Nicolas Bertillon-Lavaud (1995-2000) came from the Party of National Integration. The three parties counted with strong structures of dominance over the voters, with the UCR being predominantly popular in urban centres and middle classes, the PDIN being closer to rural federations and societies and the minor partner USC counting with a strong presence in the Solarian Catholic education. The CONAPRO was dissolved in 2005, after the PDIN and USC retired from the La Rue government amid the 2005 financial crisis.
