This report describes some of the international, regional and thousands of local projects initiated during the International Year of Sport and Physical Education (IYSPE 2005), concretely establishing sport and physical education as tools for education, health, development and peace.
This final report was published in April 2006 prior to the more comprehensive report entitled “Report on the International Year of Sport and Physical Education (IYSPE 2005). Sport for a Better World” published by the United Nations in October 2006.
The report illustrates that IYSPE 2005 clearly affirmed that sport and physical education in their broadest sense are essential components of the world’s efforts to achieve the internationally agreed development goals, including the Millennium Development Goals.
