COCEMFE Sevilla

What COCEMFE Sevilla does

COCEMFE Sevilla (legal name: Federación Provincial de Asociaciones de Personas con Discapacidad Física y Orgánica de Sevilla) is a Spanish non-profit federation founded in 1985 and headquartered in Seville, operating as the provincial arm of the national COCEMFE confederation under the Spanish Committee of Representatives of People with Disabilities (CERMI). The federation coordinates a network of more than 50 member associations representing individuals with diverse physical and organic disabilities, including spinal cord injuries, fibromyalgia, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, ostomies, Parkinson's, rare diseases, and severe disabilities. Its service portfolio spans direct social care (legal advice, psychological support), adapted transport subsidized by the Seville City Council, employment programs (Incorpora, Sevilla Integra, Activa-t, and Employment Fairs), the Centro Especial de Empleo Agradis special employment center, and outreach programs targeting rural populations ('Rompiendo Distancias', 'Superando Barreras') across 33+ municipalities in Seville province.

The organization's technology footprint centers on Accesibilidapp, a mobile application that enables citizens to report accessibility barriers in Seville, alongside digital platforms developed under European Erasmus+ projects (Digiboost, Digit2Me, Inclusive Check-in, e-YOUTH). It also operates a podcast ('Las Voces de la Inclusión'), monthly newsletter, and active social media presence across Facebook, Twitter/X, YouTube (78+ videos), Instagram, and LinkedIn. COCEMFE Sevilla leads or participates in 11 European Erasmus+ projects covering youth wellbeing, digital entrepreneurship, hospitality skills training for disabled youth, rural independent living, and volunteer mentoring, with international partners in Hungary, Italy, Albania, and Turkey.

Revenue is generated entirely through non-commercial channels: public grants from the Junta de Andalucía, Ayuntamiento de Sevilla, Diputación de Sevilla, and European programs (Erasmus+ administered via SEPIE, FEDER), individual donations, membership fees from the 50+ association network, and modest commercial activity through the CEE Agradis social enterprise. Services to beneficiaries are provided free of charge or subsidized. The federation employs 44 staff and is led by President Nieves Márquez Matallanes (elected 2025), with a dedicated Data Protection Officer (Pedro J. Fernández) and a GDPR-compliant data handling regime. As a non-profit association registered in the Registro de Asociaciones de Andalucía, the entity has no shareholders and does not pursue equity investment, operating instead on multi-year grant cycles and recurring institutional partnerships.
