The second edition of the toolkit offers you tools and learning examples for sport and development projects. The toolkit is produced by and for NGOs, sports clubs and governments. Contents:

Furthermore, programs need to be developed, cooperation with stakeholders and partners is needed and projects must be designed and managed. In this section you will find tools for capacity building, project management and partnerships.
- Themes: Sport can be used for different development goals, for instance: to overcome trauma, to improve health, to promote gender equality, to educate about HIV/AIDS and to support efforts aimed at peace building and reconciliation.
- Learning examples: Many S&D programs have been implemented so far. Organisations share their lessons learned giving others an opportunity to learn from your successes as well as from your 'mistakes'.

Quote by Kofi Annan
"People in every nation love sport. Its values -fitness, fair play, teamwork, the pursuit of excellence - are universal. It can be a powerful force for good in the lives of people devastated by war or poverty - especially children. The International Year of Sport and Physical Education is a reminder to Governments, international organizations and community groups everywhere to draw on the promise of sport to promote human rights, development and peace."
Driving force & challenge
Ideas, inspiration, motivation and vision: these are essential elements for valuable initiatives in the field of sport for development. 'The power within' is the driving force for change. This applies to individuals, groups, organisations and societies. Force alone is not enough, unfortunately. For change, strategies need to be developed, cooperation with stakeholders and partners is needed, projects must be designed and managed and activities need to structured and coordinated. Highly motivated people with golden ideas have failed because of details; because the 'down to earth' planning, managing and cooperation did not qualify. Resulting in ambitions which are not realised.
We can not offer you the driving force for change, that is what you, your organisation and your community has got. We offer you knowledge and tools which can support your activities aiming to realise your ambitions and dreams. Accept the challenge!
