Equal opportunities
Unis-Cité has deployed the "Booster" program specifically for dropouts, which allows young people to engage in civic service while living a collective experience of promotion and working on their future project.

The Solidarity AccorHotels Endowment Fund supports associations in favor of training and professional integration, located around the world near Group hotels. In addition to the financial support they receive, these associations are directly linked to one or more Group employees to create synergies with the hotels.
For the 10th anniversary of the Fund, the Solidarity AccorHotels team wanted to assess the partnerships established and their impact on the various stakeholders. Kimso conducted a qualitative study with internal and external interlocutors linked to 5 flagship projects of the Fund, then a quantitative survey with the managers of associations and AccorHotels volunteers.
This allowed us to highlight a typology of the projects supported, to understand the added value of Solidarity AccorHotels' support and to highlight the outcomes for associations, hotels, employees and final beneficiaries of the projects.

CoActis asked Kimso to assess the impact of this initiative, and Kimso conducted 18 interviews with caregivers and health professionals and collected 117 responses to an online questionnaire from users of the tool for a total of 622 people accompanied.
The results of Kimso's expertise show that the tool is used with people with mental disabilities or autism to prepare medical consultations and that the feedback is very positive on a complete, clear and well-designed tool.
The impact value chain shows that the Santé BD cards facilitate the acceptance of care by accompanied people and that the use of the cards facilitates the accompanying persons’ work and saves time for practitioners.
The device "My word must count" is carried by the Federation Trisomie 21 France which works with people with Down's syndrome or intellectual disabilities.

In order to protect young people in the event of an obvious or perceived problem, the association has also set up a free national number (net-écoute).
e-Enfance has experimented with a new system in 2 elementary schools in Villepinte (93) for 3 years. This new approach to awareness-raising workshops aims to encourage interaction with pupils and is characterized by: a playful pedagogy built around the Net Superheroes and the implementation of 3 workshops / year in the form of thematic modules for each class followed from CE2 to CM2.
Based on a qualitative and quantitative analysis, the study validated the relevance of e-Enfance's action in relation to young people's Internet use. It also highlighted and measured the outcomes of the e-Enfance workshops on young people and more specifically on certain types of public.
The Relais Familial is an experiment carried out by the Fondation Apprentis d'Auteuil to prevent children from being placed in care, mainly due to material difficulties (poor housing in particular).
The families who are taken in benefit from temporary autonomous housing and multidimensional support: on educational issues, socio-professional integration, home management, with therapeutic support if necessary.
Kimso is the third-party evaluator of the two Social Impact Bonds (SIB) which respectively finance the Relais Familial de Gironde in Bordeaux and the Relais Familial de Loire-Atlantique in Nantes. These SIBs were concluded between the Apprentis d'Auteuil Foundation, the Gironde and Loire-Atlantique Departmental Councils and several private investors.
As a third-party evaluator, Kimso measures and certifies the SIB indicators which, if the objectives are reached, trigger the reimbursement of the private investors by the Departmental Council. In addition to this certification, Kimso carries out a more global evaluation of the experimentation through qualitative interviews with the different stakeholders of the Relais Familial.
