Since 2021, France's national 'conseiller numérique' scheme has deployed 39 digital-inclusion mediators across 25 public and private host sites in Martinique, backed by roughly €2.5 million in state funding, to help residents who struggle with online public services.

Context
Conseiller numerique France Services, launched in 2021 under France Relance and coordinated by ANCT with Banque des Territoires, trains digital mediators who help residents use online public services. Martinique placed 39 conseillers across 20 public and 5 private host structures, backed by roughly EUR2.5 million in initial state funding.
Results
The national programme's 2024 impact study reported about 3.5 million people served with 99% satisfaction, and a 2025 government reply cited 5 million cumulative accompaniments since 2021. About half of conseillers are on 18-month fixed-term contracts, and national posts were cut from 4,000 to an estimated 2,800-2,900 by 2025.
Conclusions
A large, institutionalised digital-inclusion workforce with high self-reported satisfaction, but high staff turnover and unresolved post-2027 funding leave its continuity in question.

Staffing & skills
ANCT programme coordination, Banque des Territoires, 39 conseillers numeriques (Martinique), 20 public + 5 private host structures
Conditions for success
Stable multi-year national funding beyond 2027
Conversion of fixed-term (CDD) posts to reduce turnover
Local host-structure capacity to supervise mediators
Common failure modes
High turnover from 18-month CDD contract caps against ~6-month training investment
National funding cuts (4,000 to ~2,800-2,900 posts)
