Why?
People all over the world participate in sports – regardless of their age, fitness, sex, faith or culture. Many people practice sports themselves, while others are involved as devoted spectators, coaches or volunteers. Sport is a global phenomenon and a universal language spoken the world over.
What
The Sportfordevelopment.nl Programme (2016-2020) promotes a world in which young children and young people actively contribute to vital communities through sport and play.
Where we work
Within the Sportfordevelopment.nl Programme 2016-20120, we build on the positive results of the Sportfordevelopment.nl Programme 2012-2015. This implies an ongoing focus on the eight selected countries:
The Partnership
The Sportfordevelopment.nl Programme (2016-2020) is implemented by an alliance consisting of International Sports Alliance (ISA), Right To Play (RTP) and the Royal Dutch Football Federation (KNVB) in cooperation with the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. All alliance partners firmly believe in – and are committed to – the use of sport as a means for sustainable development and have been working together as strategic partners for many years now. Every partner within the alliance brings unique knowledge and expertise, as well as its own network.
Team up
Sportfordevelopment.nl 2016-2020 is constantly looking for new team members. In addition to collaboration within the alliance and local partners, we are always looking for other social actors within sports, education, development cooperation, science, government and the private sector to join our effort. The more partners in the program, the stronger we stand in the fight for sustainable development and peace.
