Agefiph

What Agefiph does

Agefiph is a French national non-profit association (association loi 1901), founded in 1987 and headquartered in Bagneux, Hauts-de-Seine, that exists to promote and finance the employment of people with disabilities in the private sector. It disburses financial aids, professional services, and training programs to beneficiaries across 22 regional delegations covering metropolitan France and overseas territories, and operates an ecosystem of digital platforms including the espace-emploi job board, the AppuiPro professionalization platform, the Handinnov innovation portal, and a DOETH simulator — all delivered via a Drupal 10 CMS architecture. Its three principal constituencies are people with disabilities (service recipients), private-sector employers (mandatory contributors), and training/insertion organizations (delivery partners), with formal co-financing and referral relationships with France Travail, Cap emploi, MDPH, FIPHFP, and CNSA. The business model is not commercial: Agefiph is funded exclusively through mandatory employer contributions under the DOETH regime (Déclaration Obligatoire d'Emploi des Travailleurs Handicapés), with a 500+ employee organization executing a published 2024-2027 Innovation & Research strategy and an annual DOETH collection cycle that underwrites all of its activities.

Direct peers

• LADAPT: Major French association providing social and professional integration services for people with disabilities, including employment support, training, and adapted work programs. Directly comparable to Agefiph's mission but operating as a service-delivery NGO rather than a contribution fund.
• FIPHFP: Fonds pour l'Insertion des Personnes Handicap\u00e9es dans la Fonction Publique — the public-sector counterpart to Agefiph, administering disability employment contributions and aids for French civil service employers. Operates an analogous mission, funding model, and service catalog (financial aids, professionalization, awareness), but for the public rather than private sector.
• Cap emploi: Federation of specialized disability employment organizations operating across France, providing vocational guidance, placement, and job retention services for people with disabilities. A key operational peer and channel partner of Agefiph within the public employment service ecosystem.
• APF France Handicap: France's largest disability advocacy and services association, supporting people with disabilities across employment, accessibility, and daily living. Comparable to Agefiph in beneficiary focus, with overlap on employment-related advocacy and direct services.

Regional players

• Job Accommodation Network (JAN): U.S.-based free consulting service providing individualized workplace accommodation solutions and guidance on disability employment. Comparable to Agefiph's advisory and employer-support services, but operating in a different regulatory and geographic context.

Broad incumbents

• UNEA: Union Nationale des Entreprises Adapt\u00e9es — federation representing France's adapted enterprises sector (work-integrated social enterprises employing predominantly people with disabilities). Comparable as a disability-employment ecosystem player, focused on the adapted-work employer supply side.
• France Travail (formerly P\u00f4le Emploi): France's national public employment agency, a core referral partner of Agefiph and a broader incumbent in the employment services space. Overlaps with Agefiph on job placement, employer services, and beneficiary support, but serves all job seekers rather than specializing in disability.

Emerging players

• Hanploi: French private-sector job board specialized in disability employment, offering recruitment, employer branding, and inclusion consulting. Directly comparable to Agefiph's job board and employer services, but as a private commercial player.
• Handicap.fr: Leading French private disability job board and information portal. Comparable to Agefiph's Espace Emploi platform in the recruitment marketplace dimension, but operating commercially rather than as part of a national designated fund.

Others

• FIRAH: Fondation Internationale de Recherche Appliqu\u00e9e sur le Handicap — international applied-research foundation co-funding research projects with Agefiph under the FIRAH-Agefiph convention. Comparable as a research-funding peer and partner in the disability-employment innovation ecosystem.
