Beyond the success of the Francophonie Games, this event allowed the DRC to show its potential in the field of sports and culture. The results obtained have demonstrated that the country has promising talents that deserve to be supported and developed.
It is therefore essential that the Congolese government put in place a long-term program for the establishment and modernization of sports and cultural infrastructures throughout the provinces. This will make it possible to develop more local talent and contribute to the development of Congolese youth.
