The IOC has thus developed a comprehensive programme using sports development as a tool for local socio-economic and human development in cooperation with UN agencies and other organisations specialised in development and humanitarian aid and National Olympic Committees. The following projects in Costa Rica, Cambodia and Afghanistan truly underline this strong commitment by the IOC to improve the lives of under-privileged communities worldwide.     1966 views    1 2 3 4 5  Current Rating: 3           Development through sport     After Lusaka, a second Olympic centre is to be created - in Haiti A few days before IOC President Jacques Rogge visits the Olympic Youth Development Centre in Lusaka (Zambia), accompanied by the United Nations Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon, a second project symbolically kicked off in Haiti.
