The World Sports Alliance Public-Private Partnership Initiative
These assessments led to the World Sports Alliance Public-Private Partnership Initiative which enunciated WSA’s objectives of establishing sports infrastructures and implementing educational and motivational training programs through after-school curricula, in order to contribute to the development of people and the community they live in and to use Sports, Physical Education and Leisure (SPEL) as a tool to educate youth regarding the Millennium Development Goals.
The Initiative invited each of the 192 UN Member State signers of the Millennium Declaration of September 2000 to establish a National Training Center of Excellence SPEL-MDGs in their respective countries and to work closely with a network of WSA Community Sport Centers created within their territory. Additionally, the initiative launched the effort to create a global Worldwide MDG Training Network which would facilitate the development of educational and training programs to raise awareness of and to assist in the achievement of the UN MDGs worldwide.

“...I had grown up in a world that was dominated by immature age. Not by vigorous immaturity, but by immaturity that was old and tired and prudent, that loved ritual and rubric, and was utterly wanting in curiosity about the new and the strange.

Our virgin is a jolly one; and tho at present not very rich, will in time be a great fortune, and where she has a favorable predisposition, it seems to me well worth cultivating.”
—Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)
