Les conventions d'objectifs: Limites d'un instrument de financement du mouvement sportif par l'Etat du Sénégal

Objective agreements as a financing tool for such organizations is a response provided by the public authorities. They set the objectives to be achieved by the sports movement through public funding in terms of athlete performance, development of sports infrastructures, and promotion of sport at the national and international level. In the Senegalese context, the question that arose is why they cannot contribute effectively to the development of sport, to the improvement of the performance of athletes, while ensuring effective management of resources, public. Based on a qualitative approach and twenty-two (22) interviews with different stakeholders in the Senegalese sports movement and the Senegalese State, it was possible to show that the said conventions have random objectives, a non-compliance with the commitments made by different stakeholders and a monitoring-evaluation system that is little or poorly used. This demonstrates the difficulty in implementing public management tools in the Senegalese context and recalled by the theory of National Public Governance Systems (SNGP) in French-speaking African countries, on the one hand, and the question of the receptivity, even the reluctance of African public administrations to adopt said tools, on the other hand.
