The Para sport story of Burundi.
Burundi’s archive illustrates the connection between training and domestic competition. Following Agitos Foundation activities in 2012, the NPC and Gitega Youth Centre organised a national event for sitting volleyball and goalball in 2013. Further technical education in 2018 included coach Chantal Ndayongeje, who intended to apply new talent-identification and training methods with athletes at home.
Historical context is drawn from the linked IPC records. Dates and roles refer to the time of the original report.
