What Cpeagl does

CPEAGL (Comité de Protection de l'Enfance et de l'Adolescence Gard-Lozère) is a French non-profit association (loi 1901, headquartered at 25 Avenue Georges Pompidou, 30900 Nîmes) founded on 10 July 1936 that delivers integrated child protection and medico-social services across the Gard and Lozère departments of the Occitanie region. It operates five core programs: AEMO du Gard (Action Éducative en Milieu Ouvert, ~850 children/adolescents daily across five antennas), AEMO Lozère (~190 children), SIE / Service d'Investigation Éducative (up to 191 judicial MJIE investigations/year), DITEP Le Grézan (therapeutic-educational institute for 67 youth aged 5-20 with psychological difficulties, including ambulatoire, accueil de jour and internat), and MECS Colibris (40-place residential children's home distributed across four territorial units and a 0-3 years foster-family device, co-developed with three partner associations). Underlying technology is non-existent by design — services are delivered directly through multidisciplinary teams of educators, psychologists, social workers, psychiatrists, and therapists across 8 sites and 11 addresses.

Revenue model

1. Public funding and government contracts: CPEAGL is financed by government authorities: the Ministry of Justice (PJJ) for MJIE/SIE and AEMO judicial measures, the Department of Gard for AEMO/AED measures, the Department of Lozère for AEMO Lozère, and the Regional Health Agency (ARS Occitanie) for DITEP medico-social services. The DITEP is fully financed by CPAM (health insurance). Revenue is derived from negotiated budgets and contractual agreements with public funders rather than direct customer payments.

Direct peers

• Sauvegarde du Nord: Department-level child protection association in northern France running AEMO, MECS, and medico-social services. Directly comparable as CPEAGL actually took over Lozère AEMO from Sauvegarde du Nord in 2000, indicating closely aligned service models and government-funded operating model.
• ALEFPA: National federation running ITEP, DITEP, MECS, and similar medico-social establishments across France. Directly comparable on service mix (especially DITEP-type facilities) and government-funded operating model, though structured as a larger federation rather than a single association.
• France Terre d'Asile: French organization specialized in protection of unaccompanied minors (MNA) and youth in difficulty, including hosting in diffuse accommodation. Directly comparable on the youth-protection mandate—CPEAGL even created the TERA service with Association Coste for unaccompanied minors, mirroring FTDA's model.
• Association Nationale des Communautés Éducatives (ANCE): National federation of éducative communities operating residential and ambulatory child protection, social inclusion, and youth justice services. Directly comparable mission and multi-association governance model, with shared ethos of small, community-embedded protection services.

Others

• Fondation de France: Major French philanthropic foundation supporting child welfare, social inclusion, and environmental causes. Comparable on the alternative-funding side—CPEAGL's HelloAsso donations, ESS awards, and innovation projects (e.g., écolieu La Vigiére) align with Fondation de France's grant-making portfolio.
• UNIOPSS: National federation representing France's social solidarity, medico-social, and health-related private non-profit organizations. Comparable as the umbrella federation representing CPEAGL's institutional category; not a direct operator but the policy and resource backbone for associations like CPEAGL.

Broad incumbents

• Croix-Rouge française: Major French humanitarian organization operating child protection, medico-social, and family support services nationally. Comparable on the medico-social and family services side; differs in scale, humanitarian mission breadth, and largely volunteer-driven model.
• Apprentis d'Auteuil: Major French Catholic foundation operating nationally with ~30,000 young people across child protection, education, and family support services. Comparable as a large-scale, multi-service child welfare organization; differs in national scope, religious affiliation, and much larger scale.
• Fondation des Apprentis d'Auteuil: Operates under the same brand as Apprentis d'Auteuil (listed above as the operational entity). Identical to Apprentis d'Auteuil in practice; listed separately only to reflect the parent-foundation structure if relevant.

Regional players

• ARSEA Alsace: Regional association for child protection in Alsace with similar multi-service model (AEMO, ITEP/DITEP, MECS, SIE). Highly comparable organizational structure serving a different French region—directly parallel child protection mandate with regional rather than national scope.
