Development-through-sport: A joint strategy of the ASC and AusAID 2013-2017

This document sets out the joint strategy between the Australian Sports Commission (ASC) and the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) to use sport to contribute to Australia's aid programme. The strategy is the result of collaboration between the two agencies and will guide planning and delivery of Australia's international development-through-sport investments until 2017.

With this strategy, the Australian aid programme is implementing an approach it calls „development-through-sport". Development-through-sport identifies development objectives first and then identifies how well planned sport-based activities can contribute to these. It acknowledges that sport is one of a number of approaches that can be used to contribute to development objectives.
