Description :

THE BYTHIAH PROJECT (TBP), a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), is seeking a volunteer to support the 9? Games of La Francophonie program in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo.

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) will organize the 9? edition of the Games of La Francophonie from 19 to 28 August 2022 in Kinshasa. This event represents a major logistical challenge and a strong political signal. It involves hosting 4,000 young sports and artistic talents from the 88 States and governments of La Francophonie, but also demonstrates that this event can be part of a project for development and for strengthening national cohesion.

- Support for the management of sports events and the practice of sports for the youth of Kinshasa;
- Promotion of culture and francophonie.
The volunteer will contribute to the implementation of this programme, under the supervision of the Cooperation and Cultural Action Department of the French Embassy in DRC and the French Institute in Kinshasa, for the implementation of the FSPI.
