Background: Ministers of Youth and Sports from 14 French-speaking countries met at Yaounde, Cameroun, last week to discuss setting up regional centres for youth and sports groups.

The Ministers -- members of the Higher Council of Sports in Africa -- looked into ways of forming such groups and the types of training to be undertaken by the proposed regional centres.

The conference was opened by Cameroun's Minister of Youth and Sports, M. Felix Tonye Mbog, on Wednesday (23 April). He said his Government has placed great importance on the welfare of young people and sports.
