Sport in Development. Teamwork Scores! Policy Memorandum on Sport in the Context of Development Co-operation

This policy memorandum aims to promote the best possible use of physical education, sport, games and activities involving physical exercise in developing countries with the aim of increasing individual well-being, health and development and social cohesion and development. This aim will be pursued in two ways:

1. By supporting 'sport plus' activities focusing on sport and physical education itself and designed to maximise the social benefits of such activities.
2. By integrating sport and physical exercise into other activities, such as rural development projects, programmes for street children and projects aimed at women, or into the management of refugee camps. These are then termed 'plus sport' activities.
