DJARAMA – Sport, citizenship and environment in the suburb of Toubab Dialaw
Context
According to the National Agency for Statistics and Demography, the unemployment rate in the last quarter of 2021 is estimated at 24.1%. Unemployment is much higher in rural areas where the rate is estimated at 29.8% compared to 19.1% in urban areas. In rural areas such as Toubab Dialaw, fishing is the main source of income for the population. However, overfishing and environmental degradation hinder the practice of this activity. The vulnerability of certain sections of the population, such as young people, is thus reinforced, particularly in a post-covid context.
The Djarama project therefore aims to improve the condition of young people through sport
