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.
