Community development refers to all the processes by which the inhabitants of a territory combine their efforts with those of the public authorities in order to improve the economic, social and cultural situation of the communities, associate them with the life of the region and enable them to contribute unreservedly to the progress of the community. The training provided by the National Institute for Youth and Sports in Abidjan, in a continuing studies program, aims to develop skills in this area. The results of a survey of 120 students reveal that this training equips them adequately, particularly in terms of management and organization, so that they can contribute to the construction of the social cohesion and stimulate solidarity through participation and mobilization.
