Sport is increasingly recognized as an important tool in helping the United Nations achieve its objectives, in particular the Millennium Development Goals. By including sport in development and peace programmes in a more systematic way, the United Nations can make full use of this cost-efficient tool to help us create a better world.
Ban Ki-moon , Secretary-General of the United Nations
Sport has a crucial role to play in the efforts of the United Nations to improve the lives of
people around the world. Sport builds bridges between individuals and across communities, providing a fertile ground for sowing the seeds of development and peace.
Wilfried Lemke, Special Adviser to the Secretary-General on Sport for Development and Peace
