Dear readers,

Around the world, the COVID-19 pandemic is bringing changes to our workplaces and communities. Amidst canceled events, remote working, uncertainty around projects and funding, and concerns for the the well-being of vulnerable communities, the sport, and development community is going through a challenging period.

However, the community is also proving its resilience. Many individuals and organizations are mobilizing to bolster global solidarity. We will continue to support the community and share further stories and initiatives in the coming weeks.

In this newsletter, we also feature the latest two articles in our #DoNoHarm series, on creating independent and sustainable sport for development projects and prioritizing evidence-based knowledge sharing.

In the meantime, the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace on 6 April will go ahead – digitally! Follow our dedicated page for the latest updates, tips, and commentary on how to celebrate sport’s contribution to development while maintaining social distancing.

Remember to take care, be kind, and support one another,
