Overview

This review highlights opportunities for economic growth in SubSaharan Africa through sport, suggesting potential policy improvements.

Key Points

  • Sport has the potential to enhance economic development in SubSaharan Africa by creating employment opportunities and promoting tourism.
  • Despite its benefits, sport's impact is hampered by fragmented policies and a lack of adequate funding across SubSaharan Africa.
  • Interdisciplinary frameworks like Sport-for-Development and Peace are essential for understanding sports' contributions to social inclusion and entrepreneurship.
  • The review calls for localized, equitable policy-making to address the systemic gaps that limit sport's effectiveness as an economic driver.
