The document "Sport & Development: A Methodological Approach" outlines the significant role of sports in promoting social cohesion and economic growth. It emphasizes that sports contribute approximately 2% to global GDP and can help integrate vulnerable populations into society. Despite their popularity, access to sports remains limited due to poor infrastructure and management issues. The Kazan Action Plan promotes aligning sports with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The AFD aims to integrate sports into public policies across urban development, education, health, and peace initiatives. The document advocates for private sector engagement to sustain sports-related projects and create local job opportunities, highlighting the need for continued investment and strategic collaboration to maximize sports' development potential.
