CISA
2008 DISCUSSION TOPICS REVEALED
For
this second edition five major topics are
proposed to participants.
1 - Medias and sport:
through this topic participants will be able to
debate on existing difficulties in the day to
day life of sports as compared to media to see
how they can shoulder one another and develop.
2 � Need for collaboration to
develop anti doping tests in Africa and
implementation of a revised Anti Doping code
This topic is an up to date subject that will
allow the Africa decision makers to raise an
issue on an plague that is seriously mining
sport ethic, and will make it possible to
suggest relevant solutions to this thorn on the
side of sport.
3 � Sport financing in Africa:
Sport development in Africa being currently
jeopardized by the lack of financial means,
questions related to the availability or lack of
different sources of financing, the evaluation
of sport organizations sponsorships as well as
that of the sponsors etc., will be subject to
careful scrutiny from panel members and the
participating people.
4 � Relationship between
governments, sports organizations, NGOs and
United Nations organisms to reach the Objectives
of the Millennium towards development:
Sports has become such a
powerful means of social promotion that United
Nations related organizations are now using it
as a springboard to reach their so called
objectives of the millennium towards
development. One may wonder: what type of
cooperation will then exist between governments,
sports organizations, NGos and United Nations
organisms to reach that goal? Participants to
the forum will have the challenge of answering
to questions like this.
5. The
5th topic is to determined and
will certainly deal either on the issue related
to difficulties of obtaining visas for
African sportsmen wanting to participate to
international competitions or problematic
of sport management in Africa.
