sportanddev launches a new language version entirely dedicated to servicing the French-speaking sport and development (S&D) community.

As of 27 May 2014, users are able to access a French language version of sportanddev. With an estimated 220 million French speakers worldwide, sportanddev seeks to better service the fast growing French speaking S&D community by providing a “one-stop shop” of essential information on themes in S&D, capacity building tools, and the latest news and opportunities from la francophonie.

How to access the new language version?
If you are still new to sportanddev, you may not have noticed the change to our website, which now includes two language switches located just above the search bar of the website pages. The new language version can also be accessed using this url: www.sportanddev.org/fr.

If you are a returning user and are having difficulty locating the language switches, you may need to refresh the cached memory on your computer. Once on the homepage, Mac users should hold down command/apple + R and Windows users simply need to press F5.

What does it include?
The new language version includes a full translation of the “About this Platform” (“A propos du site”), “Learn more” (“En savoir plus”) and “Toolkit” (“Ressources”) sections of the English language version. Also on offer is a “News & Views” (“Actualités”) section dedicated to highlighting the latest developments from the French speaking S&D community, which will include important announcements, interviews, commentaries, job offers, academic opportunities, events and the latest publications.

Who can get involved?
The Operating Team invites you to participate in this newly launched online community by sending us your latest news and views. sportanddev is an online space dedicated to “all those with an interest or commitment to using sport as a tool for development”. Whether active in the field, a retired S&D professional, researching an S&D related topic or simply interested in the sector, you are invited to get involved.
