Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games: Ousmane Sonko expected at international food fair at Dakar City Hall

National Assembly President Ousmane Sonko is expected at Dakar City Hall on Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. to visit the international food fair held as part of the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games. Mayor Abass Fall said the Municipal Development and Solidarity Fund (FODEM) trained 8,100 beneficiaries between January and October 2026, with funding expected to be disbursed soon. He recalled that 6,000 participants in earlier training programs sold their products through Ramadan food baskets, an initiative repeated for Tamkharit. The artisan, institutional and culinary fairs aim to promote local businesses and help them access markets, leveraging the Games’ international visibility.
