This toolkit is a gateway to S4D. You will find information, guidelines, manuals, seminars, tools and advice on how to implement Sport for Development (S4D) projects, workshops and training sessions. The German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) uses S4D to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) like gender equality, good health and quality education. This toolkit provides access to resources that have been developed and used by GIZ and partners in different countries all over the world.
What is the Global Sport for Development Community?
The Global S4D Community is a new open membership offer for practitioners and partners that combines an online social intranet - purpose built by our partners at HumHub - and a variety of offline learning and knowledge exchange activities. The Community is free to access, and welcomes practitioners of all backgrounds, ranging from seasoned S4D trainers, instructors, and multipliers to enthusiastic newcomers who share an unwavering commitment to drive positive change through sports.
