Inquiry into the quality and evaluation indicators of sport and development projects

This inquiry examines the experience and knowledge of quality standards and evaluation criteria of sports and development organisations. The objectives of the inquiry were to promote the exchange of knowledge and experience in monitoring and evaluating sport and development cooperation projects, and to increase the body of knowledge concerning the social contribution of sport in various cultural contexts. These objectives inform the attempts to arrive at recommendations for the evaluation of sport and development cooperation projects, with which the social contribution of sport and the quality of projects may be visualised.

The inquiry sought to answer the following questions: What are the quality standards that various sport and/or development organisations use regarding the contribution of sport to the construction of a society? What are the evaluation indicators used by various sport and/or development organisations that appraise the extent to which the project has actually contributed to the construction of a society?
