• UNAF (Union Nationale des Associations Familiales): National parent and coordinator of the UDAF network. Directly comparable as UDAF de l'Ardèche is legally independent but operationally tied to UNAF; UNAF provides institutional framework, network resources, and national-level family representation across 100+ departmental UDAFs.

Emerging players
