The courses were organised by the COA in partnership with the International Olympic Committee's Olympic Solidarity programme, which distributes money to projects worldwide.

Staff at sporting governing bodies and organisations took part in order to improve their skills and knowledge.

It is hoped that this will lead to a better standard of sports governance in Algeria.
