SCOREThe Future?

• Experience & Expertise

• Tangible, Sustainable Results

• Rural focus

• Sport as a tool for development

• International Presence & Network

Strengths

• Currently (Foreign) Donor dependent

• No corporate sponsors

• SA network not as strong as it should be (eg. Federations)

• NGO’s still seen by some as a threat rather than as partners

Weaknesses

• Donors withdrawing from South Africa

• Short term funding for projects only – impacts potential for sustainability

• Reluctance by donors and funders to support (necessary) infrastructure & management costs

• Donor funding increasingly goes to government and not directly to civil society

• Competition from wealthy northern NGOs

Threats

• Income generation: accredited training, facilities building & consultancy, volunteer training

• Expansion in the Zone, sharing & building capacity

• Lobby donors – prioritise sport & seek additional funding

• Lobby for role of sport on development agenda

• New, more effective partnerships – eg. with government at different levels

Opportunities

Conclusion

“The chief finding of the U.N. Interagency Task Force on Sport for Development and Peace is that well designed sport based initiatives are practical and cost effective tools to achieve objectives in Development and Peace”
