The publication was produced with the assistance of the European Union and Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat through the Strengthening Non-State Actors (NSAs) Engagement in Regional Policy Development and Implementation Programme.
WHY SPORT MATTERS: Sport for development in Australia, the Pacific and Asia
Sport Matters launched a new report on sport for development at Parliament House in Canberra on 18 June 2014. The report was officially launched by Sport Matters Chair Michael Pilbrow & CEO Jackie Lauff together with Sport Matters Champions Liesl Tesch, Pat Farmer and Luke Ablett. ‘Why Sport Matters: Sport for development in Australia, the Pacific and Asia’ features case studies from a host of Australian organisations using sport to contribute to outcomes in health, gender equality, social inclusion, children & youth, and people with disabilities. It also includes the latest sport for development research from the Pacific.
