Conseil Départemental du Gers

What Conseil Départemental du Gers does

The Conseil Départemental du Gers is a French territorial collectivity (collectivité territoriale) established in 1790 following the French Revolution, headquartered in Auch and serving the Gers department in the Occitanie region of southwestern France. It operates as one of 101 metropolitan French departments under the Code général des collectivités territoriales, governed by an elected departmental assembly and holding its own legal personality as a decentralized unit of the French Republic. Its functional mandate covers a broad portfolio of public services: social welfare and insertion programs (RSA, MDPH disability compensation, APA for seniors, child protection, departmental insertion program); healthcare delivery via the Centre Départemental de Santé du Gers, mobile mammography (Mammobile), vaccination and screening programs; road and infrastructure management; college education; cultural heritage (Memento contemporary art space, departmental museums network, archives, media library, Abbaye de Flaran); sports programs (OxyGers, Pass'Club 32); tourism promotion (Tourisme Gers); agricultural and territorial development; and ecological transition (CiT2E, SAGE NRG).

The entity is funded through departmental taxation and state allocations rather than commercial revenue, with services provided free at point of use. Its technology footprint is centered on the gers.fr web platform and the mesdemarches.gers.fr online administrative procedures portal, supplemented by an open-data portal (data.gers.fr) and a participatory budgeting platform. It has achieved 100% fiber optic coverage through its wholly-owned satellite Gers Numérique. The digital stack integrates with TIPI for online payments, OpenStreetMap for cartography, Agorastore for surplus-asset auctions, and NR-PRO for energy efficiency certificates. The customer base comprises all residents of the Gers department, segmented by service need: vulnerable populations (RSA beneficiaries, insertion-program participants), people with disabilities (PCH recipients, MDPH users), seniors (APA recipients), families and children, and the broader resident population for general departmental services. Customer engagement is multi-channel: the main website, social media (Facebook/YouTube/Instagram), email notifications, the Le Journal du Département publication, press relations, and physical service centers including MDS, MDPH, CLIC, and departmental health centers.
