Developing a comprehensive vision of inclusive access for all

To maximise the potential of sport, a unified global vision and policy coherence is required. A strategic vision for sport is a prerequisite for policy development and planning at different levels. For any sport system to be successful, this global vision needs to be broadened through well-formulated programmes, notably to include children, wome, the aged, persons with disabilities, indigenous people, migrants and refugees as well as other minorities. The programmes should not only target these populations but these should actively be involved in their development. The status of sport for all as a fundamental right has an obligation for governments, multi-lateral institutions and others in civil society to ensure that opportunities exist for everyone to participate in sport.
