Fédération régionale CIDFF PACA

What Fédération régionale CIDFF PACA does

Fédération régionale CIDFF PACA is a Marseille-based non-profit association (loi 1901) that coordinates seven departmental Centres d'Information sur les Droits des Femmes et des Familles (CIDFFs) across the Sud-PACA region of southern France. It operates as the regional arm of the national Fédération Nationale des CIDFF (FN CIDFF) network. The federation delivers six core service lines: legal information access, gender-based violence support, employment and business creation assistance, education and citizenship, family life and parenting, and relational health. These services are delivered free of charge to beneficiaries through 261+ fixed permanence points distributed across Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Hautes-Alpes, Alpes-Maritimes, Bouches-du-Rhône (split between Phocéen and Pays d'Arles), Var, and Vaucluse, supplemented by itinerant outreach via the Van Nina & Simon·e mobile unit.

The federation's service portfolio includes the recently launched SARA (Sécurité · Autonomie · Résilience · Avenir) program — a multidisciplinary violence-exit pathway co-financed by the European Social Fund — as well as professional training offerings for healthcare workers (Formation Pros santé & soin), an annual Rencontres Egalipro professional equality event, and a recurring training catalog covering equality, violence, and law in professional practice. Its underlying technology stack is a WordPress-based information and communication platform with no disclosed AI/ML, proprietary software, or commercial product surface; the model is fundamentally human-delivered social services supported by institutional communications.

Commercially, FR-CIDFF PACA is not a revenue-generating business. The federation operates entirely on institutional grants and subsidies from the Ministry for Gender Equality, Région Sud PACA, DREETS PACA, ARS PACA, the European Social Fund, and Uniformation, with seven employees at the regional coordination level. Pricing is non-commercial — services are free, anonymous, and unconditional for beneficiaries — and the go-to-market motion is community-led and partnership-driven, relying on referrals from social services, hospitals, courts, and employment services rather than commercial sales channels.
