Région Réunion

What Région Réunion does

Région Réunion (legal name: Conseil Régional de la Réunion) is a French territorial collectivity established under the 1982 Loi Deferre decentralization laws, exercising devolved statutory powers over economic development, transport, secondary and higher education, vocational training, culture, and the regional management of European structural funds for La Réunion, a French overseas department in the Indian Ocean with approximately 870,000 inhabitants. The council is governed by a 45-member Plenary Assembly led since 2021 by President Huguette Bello for the 2021-2028 mandate, supported by nine Vice Presidents, a Permanent Commission of 25 members, and eight thematic commissions.

Its service portfolio spans transport (Car Jaune regional bus network, Trans Eco Express, and the planned RunRail/RRTG monorail), digital citizen services (the demarches.cr-reunion.fr online procedures portal, Open Data platform at data.regionreunion.com, and the public procurement platform at marches-publics.regionreunion.com), education programs (Numérisak digital school bag, Kap Konèk.T digital inclusion, ARES student aid with separate doctoral and Quebec exchange tracks), a €116 million vocational training budget supporting 10,000 training places and 1,000 Pass Formation beneficiaries, cultural support via dedicated Film and Video Game Commissions, and the territorial continuity aid program operated jointly with LADOM.

The council is funded through French state allocations, local taxes, and substantial EU co-financing (FEDER/FSE+ 2021-2027, FEAMPA, INTERREG VI Océan Indien), with the regional budget supporting direct service delivery to citizens across six primary segments: general public, students and young people, job seekers, associations/non-profits, enterprises, and high-school students (lycéens). With 758 employees and a headquarters at the Hôtel de Région Pierre Lagourgue in Saint-Denis, Région Réunion operates a hybrid GTM combining direct citizen-facing channels (physical offices, online procedures portal), digital inclusion partners, and partner networks spanning the audiovisual, gaming, and student-services ecosystems.

Broad incumbents

• Conseil Régional d'Île-de-France: The largest French regional council with the same statutory powers over economic development, transport, training, and EU funds; serves as a benchmark for how a regional authority can scale service delivery, e-government, and student aid programs.
• Conseil Régional d'Occitanie: Large mainland French regional council with parallel competencies in transport (LIO), vocational training, student aid, and EU fund management (FEDER/FSE+), serving as a scaled comparator for Région Réunion's service portfolio.
• Conseil Régional des Hauts-de-France: Mainland French regional council with comparable competencies in transport, vocational training, student support, and European fund management, operating at a larger population scale but with similar functional scope.
• Conseil Régional de Nouvelle-Aquitaine: Large mainland French regional authority managing transport networks, vocational training programs, student aid, and EU structural funds — a comparable service portfolio to Région Réunion, scaled across a much larger territory.
• Conseil Régional de Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur: Larger mainland French regional council exercising the same statutory mandates (economic development, transport, training, European funds) with a broader population base (~5 million) and significantly larger budget, illustrating how a mature regional authority scales similar service lines.
