体坛英语新闻：Rogge says IOC to build more Olympic Youth Development Centers in the world

"We did a lot of work on sustainability. We have a yearly budget for maintenance and there is also a very good team of course with the people of Zambia, and also International Federations and International Olympic Committee will take a good care of the sustainability (of the center)," said Rogge.

The OYDC Zambia includes indoor and outdoor facilities. The construction of the center was under the IOC with support of six International Federations (IFs) of basketball, handball, athletics, hockey boxing and weightlifting.

The center is also offering education programs, health services and community activities.

The OYDC Zambia is a pilot project of the IOC's "Sports for Hope" programs, aiming to provide better opportunities in developing countries to practise sport and to be exposed to the Olympic values.
