The Order of Merit of Youth and Sports was founded by Decree on July 8, 1998. It is conferred upon Burkanibé youth, athletes, physical educators, and all those who have contributed to youth and sports programs in Burkina Faso over a span of at least 10 years. When conferred posthumously, it is awarded to those who were devoted to youth and sports programs in recognition of acts of bravery. The Order may also be conferred upon foreigners or awarded in absence of service requirements, but only under exceptional circumstances.
