Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games: How ‘Coach Azou’ empowers Senegalese youth through boxing

Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games: How ‘Coach Azou’ empowers Senegalese youth through boxing

Discover how Alfred Assane N’Diaye, known as Coach Azou, established a ‘safe space’ at Dakar’s Yakaar Boxing Club for young Senegalese often left on the sidelines.

The importance of reaching out to the community
Under Coach Azou’s watchful eye, a sparring match begins.

Two young, inexperienced teens, a boy and a girl, square off, just days after the club’s event, the Yakaar Fight Gala. Their technique is still rough, but their enthusiasm is contagious.

“I’ve always had the desire to come here and do something with the youth. Why? Because every time I came here on vacation, I connected with friends, and over time, those ties grew stronger. I then thought, ‘Why not start an organisation and offer something to young people?’”

Coach Azou took his project directly into the community, sharing his mission and establishing a strong local presence.

UNESCO boosts financial independence through sustainable fish farming in Madagascar

UNESCO boosts financial independence through sustainable fish farming in Madagascar

Meet Jean Didier Nonta, 55, father of four children.

He lives in the fokontany of Ambodivohitra, Andapa district, in Madagascar’s Sava region.

Like many members of his community, Jean Didier used to rely heavily on the exploitation of forest resources for his livelihood and to support his family.

This includes the cutting of trees for the manufacture of planks and other non-timber forest resources, seriously threatening the sustainability of local forests and biodiversity.

With the support of the UNESCO project, BIOCOM, Jean Didier benefited from training in fish farming in March 2022 and received 800 fry.

He was able to transform a small pond of 30 m² into a pond of 60 m², which allowed him to generate 1,000,000 MGA from the first sale of fish.

Subsequently, he was able to create seven new ponds and ensure regular production of fry.

On December 19, 2011, the United Nations General Assembly declared October 11 as the International Day of the Girl, to recognize girls’ rights and the unique challenges girls face around the world.

The International Day of the Girl focuses attention on the need to address the challenges girls face and to promote girls’ empowerment and the fulfilment of their human rights.

Girls have the right to a safe, educated, and healthy life, not only during their formative years, but also as they mature into women.
