The Association of National Olympic Committees of Africa (ANOCA) held a strategic session in Luanda, Angola, reviewing progress in sport development, governance, and infrastructure. Key highlights include exceeding objectives by over 100%, partnerships with FIFA, World Aquatics, FIBA, and the International Canoe Federation (ICF) to expand access to sports, and the success of continental events like the African Beach Games and African School Games. The African Athlete Support Programme has also contributed to significant athlete achievements, including Botswana's first Olympic gold medal and Algeria's first gold in artistic gymnastics. ANOCA emphasized the importance of Olympafrica centres and the modernization of national Olympic committee headquarters.

The Oceania National Olympic Committee (ONOC), under the leadership of Baklai Temengil, is embarking on a new era, building upon the legacy of Robin Mitchell, who led ONOC for 16 years. The focus is on strengthening governance, transparency, and Oceania's role in the Olympic Movement, particularly with the upcoming Brisbane 2032 Olympics. The approval of the 2025–2028 strategic plan is key, as is the creation of commissions for governance, finance, risk, and the Games, all aimed at serving athletes, National Committees, and communities in the Pacific.

Mustapha Berraf, President of ANOCA, will attend the OCA General Assembly in Kuwait on May 11-12, 2025, to discuss strategic collaborations. The focus will be on technical exchange programs, training sports officials, and preparations for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games. Berraf will also hold bilateral meetings with NOCs from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, China, and Qatar to foster cooperation with African athletes and technicians. ANOCA is focusing on promoting grassroots sports and expanding programs for African youth, including the African Youth, Beach, and Inaugural School Games, since Berraf's re-election in March.

ACNOA, World Aquatics, and the IOC signed an agreement to build four new Olympic swimming pools in Angola, Rwanda, Cape Verde, and Lesotho in 2025. Senegal will also renovate its Olympic pool for the 2026 Dakar Youth Olympic Games. The agreement includes coach training and athlete workshops, with World Aquatics covering the costs.

Botswana National Olympic Committee (BNOC) President Botsang Tshenyego remains undecided about seeking re-election, deferring his decision until the nomination period. He highlighted achievements during his tenure, including Botswana's second Olympic medal at Tokyo 2020, a record number of qualified athletes, and recognition as a top beneficiary of the Olympic Solidarity program. Tshenyego also noted unprecedented sponsorship levels for the Paris 2024 Games and the success of initiatives like Sport For Life Botswana.
