“…By and large, this reflects the current focus of SFD programmes and research (cf. Schulenkorf et al 2016, Svensson andWoods 2017), though there is a stronger focus on issues of inequality and peace in our study.…”

“…Based on a nationwide survey completed by board members of 13,068 non-profit sport clubs in Germany, Wicker and Breuer (2011) identified that human resources (volunteers) are scarce in the non-profit sport sector. As a large number of SFD organisations belong to the nonprofit sector (Svensson and Woods 2017) and volunteers are considered critical to achieving the organisational objectives of most sporting organisations (Cuskelly 1998;Hoye et al 2020), this finding is applicable to SFD organisations. According to Willis (2000), the success of an SFD program requires the development of many critical human resource elements such as knowledge, skills and abilities; however, SFD organisations underscore the importance of HRD.…”

This article aims to contribute to the application of human resources systems and practices in a sport-for-development program for community development. Using a qualitative research approach, this study collected a series of data over a period of 24 months in a rural community setting in India. This article reveals that inputs such as soccer peer-coaching knowledge and opportunities for training not only develop coaching and playing skills and abilities but also can create a socially cohesive space to foster individual, group and community capacity building for improved sport-for-development program outcomes. Using social movement theory, this article illustrates that soccer peer-coaching knowledge can be an enabler in recruiting, training and incentivising participants and volunteer coaches for social action. This article provides a practical and theoretical understanding of using knowledge, skills and abilities to mobilise individuals and assist in the delivery of a sustainable sport-for-development program in a community setting.

“…Several studies support the bridging and bonding mechanisms in soccer programs, Scartascini and Jaitman (2017) provide a list of studies that have found existing evidence for these programs. Svensson and Woods (2017) thoroughly review "Sport for Development and Peace" programs and overview the state of the field. Furthermore, Spaaij et al (2016) explain that the efficiency of sport for development programs is related to three dimensions: participation, power, and reflexivity.…”

This paper studies the effect of two place-based policies implemented in Cali, Colombia on social capital and trust. We use the CaliBRANDO survey to account for institutional and interpersonal trust, matching neighborhood of residence and where policies are applied. We set up a difference-in-difference model to estimate the impact of the policies on the indexes that measure trust. We nd that the organized sport policy improves institutional trust by about 4%. Our results are significant for soccer and basketball and not significant for futsal and other activities. The evidence does not support an effect of nightlights on trust.
