The Senegalese Ministry of Youth and Sports has announced the creation of a Normalization Committee for Cycling (CONOC) to ensure continuity in the management of the sport. This move comes after the withdrawal of the power delegated to the Senegalese Cycling Federation. The committee, led by Mouhamed Ndongo, an education-researcher at the University Cheikh Anta Diop of Dakar, aims to reorganize and normalize the governance of cycling in Senegal.
The CONOC, with a one-year mandate, will be responsible for the day-to-day management of cycling activities, ensuring the application of competition rules, and adapting the statutes and internal regulations of the future Senegalese Cycling Federation. The committee will also implement actions outlined in a chronogram established by the ministry's competent services and prepare for the elections to establish a new Senegalese Cycling Federation.
The normalization committee will comprise several members, including Mouhamed Ndongo as President, Djibril Diouf as Vice-President, and Massyla Gueye as Secretary General. The committee may also set up specialized commissions and seek the assistance of resource persons to effectively carry out its mission. The representation of Senegal within international cycling organizations is among the tasks assigned to the CONOC.
According to the Ministry of Youth and Sports, the establishment of the CONOC is part of a broader effort to reorganize and normalize the governance of cycling in Senegal. This decision aims to ensure the continuity of the sport's management and pave the way for a new, more effective federation. The ministry has expressed its commitment to supporting the CONOC in its mission.
The Senegalese cycling community has been awaiting this development, as the country seeks to strengthen its presence in international competitions. With a well-structured governance framework, Senegal aims to improve its performance and competitiveness in the sport. The CONOC's success will be crucial in achieving this goal.
The Ministry of Youth and Sports has urged all stakeholders, including cyclists, coaches, and federation members, to support the CONOC in its mission. The ministry emphasized the importance of collaboration and transparency in the normalization process, ensuring that all parties are involved and informed.
As the CONOC begins its work, the Senegalese cycling community is optimistic about the future of the sport in the country. With a clear mandate and a committed team, the normalization committee is expected to make significant progress in the coming months, ultimately leading to the establishment of a new, effective Senegalese Cycling Federation.
