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 Charwayโs 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 womenโs and girlsโ empowerment (SDG 5), and disability (SDG 10). The findings revealed three common concerns that stood out: the non-involvement of local implementing actors, the restricted legitimacy of Sport for Development organisations, and skewed resources distribution to support football.
