What cesas does

CESAS (Centre national pour la promotion de la santé affective et sexuelle) is a Luxembourg-based non-profit organization dedicated to promoting affective and sexual health at the national level. The organization operates under the parent association Planning Familial asbl and pursues its mission through information dissemination, awareness campaigns, professional education, and coordination of multi-stakeholder projects. Its formal scope is national within Luxembourg, and it holds an official Agrément Santé (health accreditation 2021/05) granted by Luxembourg authorities, which authorizes the delivery of accredited health promotion services.

The organization's core product surface consists of the "Let's Talk about Sex!" Guide & Toolkit, a comprehensive educational resource designed for professionals working with youth, in education, and in social services; the Cesas Newsletter, a recurring email communication channel; and the Réseau, a partner network directory that catalogs associations operating in adjacent service domains. Distribution is routed through government-supported professional education platforms (Plattform.lu, Ifen) and through event-driven delivery, including training sessions, workshops, and recurring community events such as the Pride Family Day. Partnerships with Kanner- a Jugendtelefon, Centre LGBTIQ+ CIGALE, HIV Berodung, and InfoTraite extend the organization's reach across youth, LGBTIQ+, STI counseling, and human trafficking prevention domains respectively.

CESAS operates on a non-profit funding model, with revenue derived from public health budgets and institutional partnerships rather than commercial pricing. There is no disclosed fee-for-service revenue model and no commercial customer base; pricing signals are absent from the available information. The organization employs 1-10 staff, consistent with a small ASBL structure, and its go-to-market motion is event-driven and partner-mediated, targeting both professional audiences (through training platforms) and the general public (through awareness events).
