Dakar 2026 : L'UEMOA débloque 100 millions FCFA pour soutenir l'organisation des Jeux Olympiques de la Jeunesse
As the first Olympic Games on African soil approaches, the Commission of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA) and the Organizing Committee for the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games (COJOJ) have formalized their joint commitment. The partnership agreement was signed in Dakar on August 14, 2026, and represents a financial contribution of 100 million CFA francs from the regional institution to support preparations for this historic event.
Representing the President of the WAEMU Commission, Abdoulaye Diop, the Commissioner in charge of the Department of Human Development, Mamadù Serifo Jaquité, hailed this as an exceptional opportunity to "highlight the dynamism, talents, and aspirations of our youth." This agreement, which falls within the framework of promoting human capital and sub-regional integration, aims to provide West African youth with a platform for expression based on excellence, solidarity, and peace.
Speaking on behalf of the President of the COJOJ, Mamadou Diagna Ndiaye, the General Coordinator Ibrahima Wade emphasized the symbolic and institutional significance of this support. According to him, this alliance is based on a shared conviction: "investing in youth is investing in the future of our community."
Beyond the sporting competition, the leaders of both organizations intend to make Dakar 2026 a model of continental ownership. This investment of 100 million FCFA will contribute to strengthening the regional dimension of the Games and building a lasting legacy for West Africa, in human, social, and economic terms.
