Background
As a values-based approach of German international cooperation, Sport for Development (S4D) fosters a joint response to global challenges. When supervised by trained educators, sport has the capacity to bridge societal divides, to unite people from different social, geographical, and economic backgrounds, and to advance social change and make societies more stable. S4D's reorientation is a response to Germany"s new political direction and mirrors the priorities of BMZ"s leadership.
Moreover, S4D is especially effective in the context of peacebuilding and social cohesion, particularly in displacement and migration, which are becoming more and more important within the scope of the global transformation agenda. Education through sport builds participation, representativeness and integration across ethnic boundaries and fosters equality, respect, solidarity, tolerance, non-violent communication, and democratic values. Also recognising "sport as a means to promote education, health, development and peace", the United Nations (UN) accorded it due consideration in the 2030 Agenda?for Sustainable Development. The main points of reference are: SDG 3 (Healthy lives and well-being), SDG 4 (Quality education), SDG 5 (Gender equality), SDG 8 (Decent work and economic growth), SDG 16 (Peace, justice and strong institutions) and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the goals), and the implementation principle of "Leave no one behind".
The Global Programme Sport for Development has a duration of 3 years (from 10/22 to 09/2025) and its module objective is: "International, regional, and national actors leverage Sport for Development to support marginalised youth in measures that promote employment, gender equality and social cohesion".
One major output and aim of the Global Sport for Development Programme (GP S4D) is to establish a sustainably mainstreamed, interactive, and global S4D network for capacity building and knowledge sharing for around 9,000 already qualified S4D practitioners from the partner countries. The network will provide a low-threshold offer of web-based training courses and will enable S4D practitioners to engage in a global practice-oriented exchange of knowledge and experience. With the skills they acquire through the network, these practitioners will reach and strengthen hundreds of thousands of young people in the fields of social cohesion, participation in societal and political decision-making, gender equality and enhanced economic and professional prospects. The module is seeking to cooperate on digital and offline further training with academic partner organisations, S4D projects and programmes and with national and international partner organisations. The programme will make use of existing technical structures to set up the S4D network.
Since the first S4D sector project got underway in 2012, some 8,874 trainers (20% female), have been trained in 23 countries. Furthermore, some 764 instructors (around 30% female), have been trained in 23 countries. Instructors train S4D trainers themselves. Thus, the Global S4D Community targets these trained instructors and trainers. In addition, intermediaries include the technical cooperation modules, regional actors, such as sports councils and youth organisations, national actors, such as state institutions, NGOs and sports organisations, universities, vocational training centres and ministries, and local actors, such as youth clubs and sports associations.?
