PURPOSE
This consultative work was kicked off with a “Fit for Life Workshop: Empowering Girls and Young Women Through Sport” gathering 70 stakeholders from government, civil society, the sport movement and the private sector. During this workshop, consensus was reached on the need to harmonize approaches to the development, design and measurement of inclusive sports initiatives at the levels of policy and practice. Several calls to action were made, including:

  1. the urgent need for shared metrics to advance outcome-oriented measurement, to inform advocacy and scale smart investments in sport as a driver of sustainable development
  2. the importance of participatory development processes and the use of an intersectional lens to support inclusive, relevant and gender-transformative policies, curricula and projects
  3. the need to prioritize capacity-building and communications to promote the value of investing in grassroots sport to advance equality outcomes, and to accurately measure social and economic returns on investment
  4. the identification and promotion of mechanisms for collective action to ensure engagement and ownership from diverse public, private and civil society stakeholder groups, including those outside of the sport sector, alongside core constituencies such as athletes and sport media

METHODOLOGY OF THE GAME PLAN

The development of Game Plan’s content will build from the detailed structure, including indicative key content for each chapter, which has been advanced by the UNESCO Secretariat and UNESCO’s Group of Friends for Sport and Gender Equality.

To guide and support the elaboration of this structure into a fully-fledged toolkit, the Consultant will be provided with the following materials:

- a inexhaustive mapping of relevant good practices relating to sport and gender equality collected through consultations, to be used as the basis for the examples and case studies of the publication
- a “Sport and Gender Equality” Theory of Change
- a matrix of key performance indicators for inclusion in each chapter
 
UNESCO will also share other relevant documents, reports and materials to support the development. However, it is expected that the Consultant may have to collect further information from relevant stakeholders, with the support of UNESCO, or conduct additional desk research to complement these materials.  The Consultant will be responsible for strategically inputting to the design and structure of the publication.
