Sport-for-development (SDP) has become an increasingly prominent globally. It is recognised that overarching policy and strategy are required to maximise the impact of sport and achieve sustainable development goals. However, although there is a substantial and growing body of work that evaluates and discusses SDP programmes and their outcomes, limited attention has been paid at the policy level, both in considering the collective impact of governments and other large non-government organisations or agencies in this space, and how these actors quantify the contribution of sport to sustainable development. This chapter discusses significant trends in the overall alignment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to the objectives of current national sports policies and the ongoing work to measure this contribution appropriately. The work highlights the natural affinity between sport and critical SDGs, such as SDG 3: Health and Wellbeing; SDG 4: Quality Education; SDG 10: Reduced Inequality and SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions. It also reveals some significant gaps, such as the need for alignment with essential indicators such as SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production and SDG 13: Climate Action.
