A research library of key reports on the sports and physical activity sector from a variety of sources.
About This Report:
The research makes clear that sport by itself is insufficient to make beneficial change to development and peace, but that a well-co-ordinated multi-sectoral approach is necessary. The research tells us that both policy and programme planning, no matter how well intentioned or generous, must begin with the aspirations, needs and strengths of the intended beneficiaries, and engage them directly in the design of programmes and the monitoring and evaluation of results.
