What @CAPMED does

Cap Méditerranée (CAPMED — Conseil Audit Perspective Méditerranée) is a French social-engineering and local-development consultancy founded in 2005 and headquartered in Marseille. The firm is co-directed by Michel Carbonara, a consultant since 1986, and Samira Ferfache, a consultant since 2014, and operates through a curated network of social workers, healthcare professionals, sociologists, economists and urban planners rather than a large permanent headcount. Its clients are French public institutions and social/medico-social associations, with historical concentration in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region and case-study engagements ranging from ministries and ARS PACA to municipal authorities (Aubagne, Marseille, Miramas, Salon-de-Provence) and national non-profits (Uriopss PACA et Corse, ANPAA, Familles de France).

The firm delivers work through eight service lines: advisory to public authorities, public mediation, organizational audit, training (a 2025 catalogue of 17 Qualiopi-certified programs), evaluations of social and medico-social structures, project-holder assistance, studies, and operations management. Its evaluation methodology is explicitly aligned with the French Law of 2 January 2002 and references CESE and FPH frameworks, with field-survey and participatory-diagnosis techniques at the core. Differentiators cited by the firm itself include Qualiopi certification renewed in 2025, a prior Datadocké registration dated 2018, and a strategic partnership with Uriopss PACA et Corse.

The business model is project-based professional services with fees set per mission and per training session, targeting a B2G/B2B audience in the social and medico-social sector. Go-to-market is via direct outreach, responses to public tenders, and institutional referrals within the French associative and public ecosystem; geographic focus is PACA, with stated national France coverage and an ambition to extend into the wider Mediterranean basin. The firm holds no disclosed outside funding, has no reported revenue, and is operated at the scale of a micro-partnership.
