The Commission on Youth and Sports of the Indian Ocean (French: Commission de
la Jeunesse et des Sports de l'Océan Indien - CJSOI) is a regional
intergovernmental commission founded in 1988 following a meeting of the CONFEJES
(Conférence des Ministres de la Jeunesse et des Sports) one year earlier. It
objectives are to promote friendship ties between young people from Member
States and foster regional cooperation, sporting culture and development of
youth. The CJSOI Games were introduced in 1994 by the Ministerial Committee of
the Commission de la Jeunesse et des Sports de l'Ocean Indien. Participating
countries are: Comoros, Djibouti,
Madagascar, Mauritius,
Mayotte,
Reunion and the
Seychelles. The main objective of the Games, organised
every two years, is to enable youth aged between 14 and 17 years participate in
international sporting events as well as promote cultural exchanges amongst the
member islands/countries of the Indian Ocean.
