    Public defense of doctoral thesis | Sustainable Development Goals Through Sport: An analysis of Policy Implementation in Ghana by Derrick Okpoti Charway, Norwegian School of Sport Sciences, June 12,...

    The primary aim of Derrick Charway’s study was to analyze the policy goals and implementations of state and non-state sport organisations in Ghana and the extent to which they contribute to national development. This study addressed three of the 17 SDGs: healthy living (SDG 3), gender equality and women’s and girls’ empowerment (SDG 5), and disability (SDG 10).
