Yvelines Coopération internationale et développement (YCID)

What Yvelines Coopération internationale et développement (YCID) does

Yvelines Coopération internationale et développement (YCID) is a French public-interest group (Groupement d'Intérêt Public, GIP) established in 2015 by the Département des Yvelines to coordinate international solidarity actors across the department. YCID operates as one of 13 RRMA (Réseaux multi-acteurs des coopérations et des solidarités internationales) networks in France, serving 425 member organizations as of 2024, including associations, local authorities, educational institutions, and youth-focused entities engaged in international cooperation and development projects. The organization's mission is to reduce fragmentation among international solidarity actors, provide project support, and facilitate access to regional, national, and international funding sources.

YCID's core offerings are organized around a member directory platform (Annuaire régional) and a project mapping tool (Panorama des projets) built on a WordPress-based technology stack. The organization delivers a portfolio of financial support programs including APAY (Accompagnement des projets des associations yvelinoises) for associations, FSI-Y Jeunesse for youth initiatives, FSI-Y Collectivités locales for local authorities, ECM aid for global citizenship education, Bourses CYAM scholarships, and the Programme Collèges Solidaires. Complementary services include training modules (project management, gender integration, monitoring/evaluation), regular Apér'YCID networking events, and personalized project accompaniment.

YCID's business model is primarily funded through public subsidies from the Département des Yvelines, supplemented by membership dues from its 425 members and modest training fees (20€ for members, 40€ for non-members). The organization is governed by a Director-President (Jean-Marie Tétart) and a Delegate Director (Mathieu Guérin), supported by an 8-person team. YCID's distribution is exclusively domestic (France), with a partner ecosystem spanning national ministries, AFD, AFD-funded agencies (Agence de l'Eau Seine-Normandie, pS-Eau), academic institutions (UVSQ), and specialized technical partners (Humatem, Aquassistance, Bioport, Aface).

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• GRET: French development solidarity professional NGO implementing field projects in water/sanitation, agriculture, and governance. Comparable thematic overlap (water/sanitation work via Agence de l'Eau), but GRET is a direct implementing operator versus YCID's role as a regional coordinator.
• F3E (Fonds pour la promotion des études préalables): Network providing methodological support, evaluation, and learning services to French international solidarity NGOs. Directly comparable to the accompaniment and M&E services YCID delivers to its Yvelines members.
• IRAM (Institut de Recherches et d'Applications des Méthodes de développement): French organization offering training, evaluation, and methodological support for development actors — overlapping with YCID's training modules (project management, M&E, gender). Comparable capacity-building offering for international solidarity practitioners.
• Migrations & Développement: French association operating decentralized cooperation projects between French regions (including Île-de-France) and partner countries in the Maghreb. Comparable thematic and operational model of regional solidarity actors YCID federates.

Direct peers

• Coordination SUD: National coordination platform for French international solidarity NGOs. Like YCID, Coordination SUD aggregates associations and represents collective interests to public funders; the difference is national vs. regional (Yvelines) scope, but the convening function is structurally identical.
• FORIM (Forum des diasporas solidaires): National network of solidarity diasporas explicitly listed as a YCID partner (PRA/OSIM programs). Operates the same multi-actor convening model but at national scope, serving diaspora-led development initiatives like YCID's DIASPORA ACTION SENEGAL member.
• pS-Eau (Programme Solidarité Eau): National network providing technical expertise and coordination for water/sanitation international solidarity projects; listed as a YCID supporting partner. Operates a member network model closely parallel to YCID's, but at national scope and thematic to water.

Regional players

• France Volontaires: Public-interest operator for international volunteering placements tied to the French government; comparable mission around youth mobility and civic engagement abroad, intersecting with YCID's CYAM scholarships and mobility programs.

Others

• CIRRMA (Conférence Interrégionale des RRMA): National coordination body of the 13 RRMA networks including YCID. Acts as a horizontal convener for the same multi-actor networks YCID belongs to; relevant as the meta-organization shaping YCID's national positioning rather than as a direct competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Agence Française de Développement (AFD): France's bilateral development finance institution, directly referenced as a YCID partner. AFD operates at national scale financing development projects, while YCID curates a regional member ecosystem that channels AFD-aligned projects — comparable in mission (bilateral ODA, international solidarity) but vastly larger in scope.
