World Sports Alliance - The right reasons to fund Sport for Development and Peace Initiatives (SDP)



The right reasons to fund Sport for Development and Peace Initiatives (SDP)

Reason 1: Kofi Annan, SDP inventor.

On 23rd January 2018, Asa Saint Clair the treasurer of our
intergovernmental organization World Sports Alliance announced at the
World Economic Forum in Davos the launch of iGObit a crypto active to fund
SDP initiatives in the member states of our organization. In Davos, he met
Kofi Annan, former Secretary-General of the United Nations. The meeting
was appropriate. Kofi Annan played a vital role in promoting sport as a tool
for development and peace. Let’s remember.

Kofi Annan. It is him who combined the first sport with the Millennium
Development Goals. As said by the United Nations: “The Sport for
Development and Peace agenda gained momentum when in 2001, former
UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan nominated former President of the Swiss
Confederation Adolf Ogi as his Special Adviser on Sport for Development
and Peace. In April 2008, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon appointed
Wilfried Lemke, of Germany, as his Special Adviser”.
