Dear readers,

How can sport help to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals?

We feature three articles on the topic from our Reshaping Sport and Development campaign. The first emphasises the importance of investing in grassroots sport to contribute to sustainable development. The second calls for clear and consistent messaging to lend credibility to sport and development. The last article highlights how programmes need to be people centred to achieve meaningful change.

What are other ways in which sport can help achieve the SDGs and other priorities? Send us your articles in English, French, Spanish or Arabic.

Also featured in this newsletter are an internship opportunity with Women Win, a French job posting, an article in Spanish on reshaping sport and development, and information on the #BeInclusive Sport Awards 2022.

Investing in grassroots sport best bet for development

For sport to better serve society, we need to change the way we resource sport and invest more in grassroots sports and sport for development.

Are we playing to the same game plan?

Consistency in messaging and clarity in approaches, as well as referencing the SDGs, are imperative to drive the sport for development sector forward.

Putting people first: Creating ecosystems that help every individual flourish

As crucial as it is that sport and development aligns with the SDGs, there also needs to be a paradigm shift to prioritising people over projects and programmes.
