Policy

This section provides an overview of policy-making processes, the role of sport and development policy and the main actors involved.

Politics plays a vital role in sport and development. This can ensure that sport is recognized as a development tool, open the door to increased investment and support processes that lead to greater success in sport and development work.

However, it is often not fully understood, particularly by people and organizations who do not work directly on policy. This section provides an overview of the topic. It will be particularly useful to people with limited policy expertise, but it will also be relevant to experienced policy makers from other sectors who are working on sport and development policy for the first time.
