THE IMPORTANCE OF SPORT
It is often said that sport has an inherent ability to bring people together, in particular the youth, and yet until recently, the tremendous potential of sport for development to achieve youth development objectives has been little utilized. By its very nature, sport encourages participation bridging national, ethnic, social and religious divides. It is precisely for this reason that sport, when used as a tool for development, can serve as an impetus for social transformation and change!
Sport for development aspires to achieve social impact by using sport, play and physical activity. Alongside its importance in the field of education, sport can also serve as a tool in areas of health promotion, gender equality, violence prevention, conflict resolution, good governance, inclusion, and environment all of which are prime issues concerning young people today.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Sport is accessible to all. Sport can support development by:
generating income from sports-related sales and services;
boosting international trade;
supporting business growth, entrepreneurship and job creation;
enhancing a country’s reputation;
transcending national differences; and fostering universal values of fair play, mutual respect and friendship;
improving health and social well-being;
encouraging discipline, teamwork, and a competitive spirit.
The multi-billion industry in sportswear and equipment fosters innovation and trade, and boosts foreign exchange earnings. Staging sporting events, whether at grassroots, national or international levels, can enrich the social and cultural fabric of communities, making them more attractive locations for investors and tourists. However, the business of sport requires a solid legal framework to support the exploitation and trading of IP rights, as well as human and organizational skills.

Fundamentally sport development is about participation and promoting the opportunities and benefits of participation. Participation in sport and physical activity spans a wide range of contexts including the wholesomeness associated with the freedom of children’s play to the modification of sport to allow children to be children a little longer. The cycle of participation continues to junior and youth sport, where the rules, regulations and traditions of a sport become the foundation to protecting the “institution” of sport, to participation in senior competitions and ultimately, to elite and professional sport.
