e-Debate: Pelle Kvalsund comments in Round 2

Pelle Kvalsund highlights three main challenges in trying to maintain a balance between sport and other components in S&D programmes. Read his comments below...

Delivering a balanced or holistic approach in S&D programmes is often advised, but difficult to implement. In your opinion, what are three main challenges we face in trying to maintain a balance between sport and other components?
not knowing and or understanding the needs or the culture of the target population

trying to achieve too much

not being able to measure and backing up results

Can you describe a bad example of trying to embed sport in other interventions aimed at addressing health
issues?
A bad example would be to focus on e.g. HIV/AIDS issues in areas where there are other more urgent development and/or humanitarian issues to be addressed, because donor-partners can get financial support for such interventions.
