About ChildFund's Sport For Development
Research shows that the international appeal and reach of sport can provide an engaging platform for learning across different geographical, social, cultural and political contexts.
Since the early 2000’s the potential of well designed sport initiatives have been recognized and formally endorsed in international policy as contributing to strategic development goals.
Well-designed Sport for Development programmes can promote social integration, leadership skills, gender equality, good health, conflict resolution/prevention, economic development and post disaster trauma relief.
ChildFund Sport for Development’s partnerships achieve specific development outcomes. It recognises the importance of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in supporting Sport for Development and a child’s right to play.
