Ahead of the Global Refugee Forum, due to take place in Geneva from 13 to 15 December, YALI Sports Africa has committed to the Multistakeholder Pledge on Sport for Inclusion and Protection of Refugees.
Our commitment:YALI Sports Africa strongly recognizes the positive role #sport plays in the context of forced displacement. By this, we are pleased to support the Joint Pledge on Sport for Inclusion and Protection. With this commitment, we express our intent to support the Sport for Refugees Coalition (SfRC) by advancing capacity-building opportunities for personal development in the area of life skill education, mental well-being, sexual & and reproductive health, and sports entrepreneurship for 500 displaced persons (#IDPs and #refugees) living in #Cameroon by 2027. We also pledge to continuously use #sport as an instrument in the promotion of #peace and strengthening #socialcohesion between and within displaced and host communities. As we advance these pledges, we shall massively communicate and highlight the voices of displaced persons through sports via all our communications channels. We support public accountability and transparency and therefore commit to monitor and report on the progress of these pledges.
Join the Sport Pledge!By joining the Multistakeholder Pledge on Sport for Inclusion and Protection of Refugees, we have become part of an international effort to improve the lives of refugees through sport. You can join, too! Together, we can mobilize our resources to transform refugees’ lives!
