Our Actions

• African Union Sport Council Survey on women and girls in sport, physical education, and physical activity: The survey is intended to map governmental and non-governmental organizations, networks, and programs focused on promoting the empowerment of girls and women through sport, physical education and physical activity in Africa. Aspiration 6 of the African Union’s Agenda 2063 emphasizes “an Africa whose development is people-driven, dependent on the potential of African people, especially women and youth, and the care of children”. Research has shown that if physical activity is used effectively, it can contribute to the realization of this ambition. The survey results will be used to strengthen policies, organizations, networks, and programs on the African continent. A summary of the results will be made available to participants and interested organizations.

• AUSC Webinar: Sports that African Women Want: A webinar series on the experiences and challenges women and girls face in sports and beyond, possible solutions, and advice for young African female athletes and sportswomen. The series also discusses opportunities and best practices that sports and sport for development programmes are offering to promote the “Sports that African Women Want.”
