More and more young people were supported by the TAPAJ program in 2023, with an increase in both the number of projects and long-term contracts. These are just some of the good news highlighted in this year’s activity report!
While the program is centered around work, it’s important to remember, as our President Jean-Philippe Henrotin says, that it is “a gateway to reconnect with oneself and with society.” This is reflected in the positive outcomes of those who completed the program last year.
TAPAJ France is proud to share the 2023 activity report, presenting last year’s results. The number of TAPAJ participants supported has increased, along with the number of work projects offered. These positive figures highlight the continued growth and success of the program in creating more opportunities for young people.
While the TAPAJ network continues to grow, TAPAJ France has focused on strengthening ties with existing programs. Through technical committees, training sessions, and the “Café TAPAJ” meetings, the association supports CSAPA and CAARUD organizations in every aspect of the program’s implementation.
We sincerely thank them for their dedication, which helps support more young people each year.
Our gratitude also goes to our key funders—prefectures, DREETS/DDETS, ARS, local authorities, and many others. Their support is essential to the sustainability of both the association and the local programs.
We have also reworked our business strategy, focusing on Territorial Corporate Responsibility (TCR), which appears to be delivering results. The increase in long-term contracts is helping to stabilize several local programs.
The support of key partners—housing providers, local authorities, and recycling and waste management companies –remains crucial in providing continued assistance to TAPAJ participants. This collaboration strengthens the program’s impact, offering more stability and opportunities for young people.
The external evaluation of the TAPAJ program, conducted by Pluricité, was completed in December. The report commends the program’s efforts and highlights the crucial support provided to our members.
This support increased significantly in 2023, and we are committed to continuing and enhancing it in the future to strengthen the program’s impact on young participants and local communities.
