Roadmap for the Ministry of Youth, Sports and Civic Action (Régine Lamur)
Summary: A roadmap sent on 29 March 2017 by Prime Minister Jack Guy Lafontant to Régine Lamur at the Ministry of Youth, Sports and Civic Action. It refers back to the general policy statement he put to the Senate on 14 March 2017 and to the Chamber of Deputies on 20 March 2017, then sets out what the ministry is to undertake over the five-year term.
Key Findings
- Treats youth and sport as legislation first, with a bill on the development of sporting disciplines and a bill on youth to be drafted and tabled in Parliament, plus a commission to finish the national youth and sport policy.
- Builds the cultural side around places rather than events: a network of médiathèques in partnership with mayors' offices, giving young people access to theatre, music, dance and physical expression as well as information technologies, and social and cultural programming in neighborhoods drawing on the Ecole Nationale des Arts, writers, musicians and painters.
- Frames sports infrastructure as a stock to be managed, requiring an inventory of available resources, a valorization plan agreed with mayors' offices and sports federations, renovation of facilities in poor condition, and a sustainable management plan for sports infrastructure.
- Puts equity of access in explicit terms, working to reduce inequalities of access to sports facilities between neighborhoods, alongside continuing installation of sports infrastructure in every commune.
- Treats sport as an economic sector, supporting the development of the sport economy and the professionalization of disciplines, and as a tool of social integration and job creation across the territory.
- Assigns the minister the preparation of the 2017-2018 budget for arbitration by the finance ministry, approval in the council of ministers and tabling in Parliament within the legal deadlines, together with transparency, the fight against corruption and sound management of public funds.
