Page 21 / 46 summaries The question of the long-term legacy was also highlighted, as funding was sometimes not available after the Games. On this point, the important role of government was recalled, as governments can ensure that there will be a sustainable sport and physical activity legacy for a significant period of time after the Games, conducting post-Games monitoring and providing the necessary funding. Finally, the need to introduce compulsory sport activities in school, which would definitely help sustain the legacy of a continuing sporting and physical education, was emphasised. <strong>2nd</strong> <strong>International</strong> <strong>Forum</strong> on Sport for Peace & Development Print Table of contents
3.5. sEssiON iV Developing a Culture of Peace through sport – Policy perspective Keynote addresses Page 22 / 46 intendant general Lassana Palenfo, President, Association of National Olympic Committees of Africa (ANOCA) <strong>2nd</strong> <strong>International</strong> <strong>Forum</strong> on Sport for Peace & Development summaries Sport has been recognised only recently as a tool to foster peace and understanding, although it has played this role on the ground almost forever. However, despite such recognition, sport cannot be the sole recipe for sustainable peace, but can contribute by promoting core values at grassroots level. In his country, Côte d’Ivoire, judo has been used in an efficient way by the sports and public authorities as a means to educate the population. Despite the difficult situation, sport has united people beyond ethnic barriers. National football players have also joined this approach, showing how sport can unite in their campaign to deposit weapons and call for participation in the election process. He also recognised the UN’s considerable competences, expertise and knowledge, and the work they are actively undertaking to promote sport for development and peace on a worldwide scale, and in particular at national level. In conclusion, he called for stronger support of the development of a culture of peace through sport in the future, as it can serve as a platform for education, a tool for mobilisation, a means of strengthening individuals and communities, and a source of joy, inspiration and hope. Dr Jaime Alberto Rodríguez Jiménez, Director, National institute of sport, El salvador Looking at his country’s specific situation, Dr Rodríguez Jiménez indicated that El Salvador has been struggling to develop for years, due to the internal civil war, institutions’ inefficiency, institutionalised corruption, delinquency, and also because of unfortunate weather conditions and earthquakes. In spite of everything, sport has been an opportunity to embrace a “ball” rather than a weapon for many people, and today, the government was supporting the free accessibility of sport for all, thereby enriching people’s lives and providing a means for such a poor country to embrace freedom and democracy as well as to reduce violence and crime rates. However, he called for more international investment in sport in order to make a difference. Print Table of contents
