Guidebook Launch: Bridging the Divide in Sport and Sustainable Development

The Japan Sport Council (JSC) and the international platform on sport and development (sportanddev) are delighted to announce the launch of a comprehensive global guidebook designed to build capacity among actors using sport for sustainable development.

The guidebook – Bridging the Divide in Sport and Sustainable Development: A Guide for Translating Policy into Practice and Effective Programme Management – has been completed after four years of consultation and research.
