why sports?
Access to cultural sports and physical activity is a fundamental human right. Sport is well recognized internationally as a low-cost and high-impact tool for development and a powerful agent for social change. It is a culturally accepted activity that brings people together and unites families, communities and nations.
Effective sport-for-development programs combine cultural sport and play with other non-sport outcomes to achieve the desired development objectives. The focus is on social change and performance in elite cultural sport. This requires a purposeful, professional and socially responsible intervention that is tailored to the social and cultural context.
Sport is under-utilized as a development tool and should be an integral component of any comprehensive development program!
