Is sport an effective means for international development? : analysis on Kenyan sport NGOs

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Sport has been progressively more utilized as a tool for international development in the last two decades. As the cooperation between international organizations and NGOs grows in sport, aid and other resources are increasingly flowing into sport-in-development. However, it still remains an unproven method in mainstream development practice due to a lack of research. With growing input in sport-in-development, it is a necessary step to verify whether sport is effective for development or not. For background information this paper has a look at the way sport emerges in development and the overview of sport-in-development. Through analysis on the project process and results of two sport NGOs in Kenya and comparison of two organizations, it finds suggestive evidences on the effectiveness of sport-in-development. Analysis shows that sport attracts the youth to development projects and how participants increase life chances and develop life skills through sport activities. Even if it has a limitation to measure the degree of effectiveness in a quantitative way, consequently, it suggests that sport has potential to be an effective partner of development to achieve specific goals.
