Lausanne 5 October
2017. PalaisBeaulieu. The World Sports
Alliance Intergovernmental Organization(WSA-IGO) was invited to attend the "Achieving SDGs through Sport: partnerships
and institutional responses for greater coherence and effectiveness"
Seminarthat assembled, by
invitation, more than 130 participants from the world sport governance and
industry.
Dr.Gilles Klein,
Secretary-General,was invited to present the WSA-IGO’s contribution to the achievement
of the SDGs through physical education, physical activity and sport. He took
part in the third panel dedicated to “Institutional responses for
achieving SDGs through and in sport by multi stakeholders initiatives and other
actors”. The message he conveyed to the attending audience
is the following:
The WSA
Intergovernmental Organization, comprising thirty-three Member States, is
linked to the United Nations system but remains politically autonomous. Since
2007, it has been mandated by the international civil society to educate youth
and train their staff in the MDGs through sport. Considering that the universal
is as much the objective of the global goals as the result of the shared
situations, WSA wanted to take action to reduce the inequalitiesof access to
physical education, physical activity and sport and contribute to the sustainable
development of developing countries. During the two eras of the Millennium
Development Goals (2000-2015) and the Sustainable Development Goals(2015-2030),
the Secretary General’s presentation analysed the context, the policy
implemented, the investments made and the evaluationof the performance.
Experience leads to the identification of four challenges for SDP organizations
to ensure the transformation of the World as desired by the United Nations:
coordinate, finance, evaluate and govern.
It is complemented
with a text by the Secretary-General text related to the WSA-IGO’s policy
during the MDGs and SDGs eras: http://bit.ly/2y8vJYJ.
