Sport for Development and Peace: Experiences Conducting U.S. and International Programs

Abstract

Since 2003, a large number of grassroots sport for development and peace (SDP) programs have been created throughout the world due largely to the United Nations’ recognition and promotion of sport as a way to foster development and peace. However, researchers have challenged the unsubstantiated claims about the positive outcomes of SDP efforts, calling for a more systematic implementation and evaluation (e.g., Coalter, 2007, 2010; Darnell, 2010; Guest, 2013; Sugden, 2009). This article highlights our experiences in conducting U.S. and international SDP programs, with specific attention to establishing partnerships, developing curriculum, training program staff, monitoring and evaluation, and sustaining programs.
