Knowledge Library - Evaluating the Impact of Sport on Sustainable Development

The Compendium of Knowledge Products is a curated repository designed to support public development banks and stakeholders in the measurement and evaluation of sport’s contribution to sustainable development. Developed as part of the Coalition’s research agenda, this compendium provides structured access to over 50 documents including institutional reports, academic publications, evaluation tools, and case studies. Its purpose is to equip decision-makers with evidence-based resources to assess the social and economic return on investment of sport-related initiatives.

Organized by region, thematic area, evaluation methodology, and alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the compendium enables targeted exploration of sport’s impact across diverse contexts. It serves as both a technical and strategic reference for shaping policies, guiding investments, and scaling effective practices. Through this knowledge base, the Coalition reaffirms its commitment to fostering a more inclusive, data-informed, and outcomes-driven sport for development ecosystem.
