AFD and Sport

The international community increasingly recognizes the power of sport to bring people together around common values. Sport is mentioned in the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda as a potential contributor to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

AFD adopted its “Sport and Development” strategy in February 2019. Indeed, sport contributes to AFD’s 100% social link commitment. Through its appeal to youth and its ability to encourage intergenerational dialogue, sport offers an innovative and cross-cutting instrument to promote social cohesion and inclusion in development projects.
