Today, December 14 is dedicated towards celebrating the Day of African Sports 🏀. Initiative For Development through Sport(fka SPYD) joins the African Union to commemorate this day which recognizes the role that African sport plays in communities and in people’s lives. Sport can cross boundaries, defy stereotypes and inspire hope across nations. Let’s continue to recognize the value of Sports and move forward toward amplifying investment in the future of Sport in Africa!

If we want to change the sporting landscape for the better, remove prejudices and encourage participation, we need to follow in the footsteps of trailblazers and others like them. Through sports development, we can build a more equitable Africa. We can contribute to the health, well-being and sense of worth of all our people. We can build a truly inclusive society, where all abilities are celebrated. So, #KeepMovingAfrica, using sport to achieve the Africa We Want. #KeepMovingTowardsInclusiveSport  #InternationalDayOfPersonswithDisabilities #KeepMovingTowardsSafeSport Decius Hikabwa Chipande PhD African Union African Union Sports Council Region 5 (AUSC Region 5) Sport For Social Change Network South Africa

Corruption and the lack of Financial Integrity and Transparency threatens the very essence of Sport. They undermine trust, compromise values, and allow criminal infiltration to take root. This is not just unacceptable — it demands action. That’s why we #SideWithSIGA Sport Integrity Global Alliance to Fight Corruption in Sport! Initiative For Development through Sport(fka SPYD) is honored to be a co-signatory of the New York Declaration on Financial Integrity and Transparency in Sport, a bold call to protect Sport’s core values and ensure a future built on transparency, accountability, and integrity. This, however, isn’t just about us. It’s about all of us. Governments, federations, clubs, sponsors, and fans must unite and say: enough is enough. Read it. Sign it. Share it. Add your voice to the movement. Together, we can create lasting change. 👉 https://shorturl.at/dDLEk #SideWithSIGA to Fight Corruption in Sport #IACW2024 #UnitedAgainstCorruption #IACD2024 #IDSportAfrica
