  • The Secretariat of the AU Sport Development Regions (Regional Secretariat).

Each Region develops its own strategies, structures, programs and resource mobilization mechanisms within the objectives and mandate of the AUSC. The Representatives of AUSC Secretariat, ANOCA, Sport Confederations and Associate Sports Bodies attend the meetings and activities of the Organs of the AU Sport Development Regions as members in an advisory capacity.

The Regional Secretariat is the administrative structure of the Region responsible for carrying out the tasks inherent in the missions assigned to the Regions and must submit an annual report to the AUSC. Each Region decides on the Host Country of the Permanent Regional Secretariat.
