Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many sport-for-development (SFD) organisations planned and trained for the delivery of sport and recreational physical activity programming under crisis conditions. This chapter focuses on responses to COVID-19 among SFD actors in international settings. The chapter begins with what the pandemic revealed, first in terms of social inequality and health, and then specifically regarding participation in sport and recreational physical activity. This is followed by consideration of the various ways that SFD actors responded to the pandemic. The chapter concludes with a discussion of lessons learned about the actions and possibilities of SFD initiatives during a global crisis. Overall, we explore how new capacities may direct SFD organisations towards communities in greatest need, and to providing crisis aid and relief.
