The International Platform On Sport And Development

sportanddev.org was created in 2003, following the first-high-level conference in sport and development in Magglingen, Switzerland. At the event, leading voices in sport, development and politics called for an online community to be created. Since then, The International Platform for Sport and Development has advocated for the role that sport can play in engaging global citizens and tackling inequalities. The initiative acts as a voice for the sport and development (S&D) community; highlighting news, opportunities, events and sport-based projects from around the world. Visitors to the site can connect with others in the community, share knowledge and discover innovative methods. Most content on sportanddev.org is produced by individual members (Team Players) and registered organisations. This ensures that the role of the initiative as the voice of the community is upheld, and communicating the good work of programmes remains neutral. The sportanddev.org Steering Board is made up of leading governments, NGOs and sports federations. They take responsibility for the initiative’s strategic direction and fund its activities. sportanddev.org is maintained by the Operating Team based at the Swiss Academy for Development in Biel, Switzerland.
