CoDES 84

What CoDES 84 does

CoDES 84 (Comité Départemental d'éducation pour la santé de Vaucluse) is a French non-profit association (loi 1901) headquartered in Avignon with a secondary territorial antenna in Cavaillon. Founded in 1976, the organization is the official departmental health education committee for Vaucluse and a member of the national FNES (Fédération Nationale d'Education et de promotion de la Santé) network. It employs approximately 6 staff and delivers evidence-based health promotion programs across thematic areas including nutrition, psychosocial skills development, environmental health, mental health, addictions, sexual health, and vaccination.

Its core deliverable is a portfolio of intervention programs validated through research partnerships: OPTICOURSES® (a nutritional quality/price optimization program registered as an INRAE collective trademark), COCCINELLES (early intervention for emotional, linguistic, and relational competencies in children aged 2-3, co-developed with AFEPS), Nutrition en action (school-based nutrition education), Ecoute tes oreilles (hearing-loss prevention campaign), Le Rallye Mouskit (tiger mosquito prevention), Premiers Secours en Santé Mentale (mental health first aid training), and Health Impact Assessment (EIS) methodology for local authorities. The organization also operates a documentation center (BIB-BOP bibliographic database) and a Qualiopi-certified training program for professionals.

Revenue comes primarily from public-sector grants — chiefly multi-year framework contracts (Contrats pluri-annuels d'objectifs) from ARS Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, supplemented by the Département du Vaucluse, Région Sud, Assurance Maladie Vaucluse, and minor membership fees. All programs are delivered free of charge to end participants. Distribution is direct via institutional partnerships with schools, crèches, municipalities, and healthcare facilities across the Vaucluse department.
