Impact Evaluation Report of the “Sport with Principles” Method in Colombia (2019 – 2022) - GiZ

4 Colombian universities and GIZ evaluated the impact of the ‘Sport with Principles’ (SwP) method in the regions of Norte de Santander and La Guajira. A mixed approach combined an adapted questionnaire (Positive Youth Development - PYD) for the quantitative data and interviews/focus groups for the qualitative data. The programme aimed to strengthen young people's psychosocial skills, improve social relations and promote peaceful sport. The results show a slight improvement in the overall PYD score and modest progress in character and confidence. The qualitative data highlights strengthened social ties and increased awareness of peaceful coexistence. The authors recommend measurement tools aligned with S4D objectives and attention to cultural dimensions in future research.
