A stakeholder framework for organisations delivering on sustainable sport and sport for development outcomes within the Namibian context
Samenvatting
This thesis aimed to set up a stakeholder framework for sustainable sport-related programme delivery across the continuum of sport development (SD) and Sport for Development (SfD) that is sensitive to the local context and is contributing to developmental and/or sport developmental outcomes in the context of Namibia.
Using a constructivist epistemology, a comparative case study analysis was done of five SfD practices in the sport and the SfD sector in Namibia. The study consisted of document analysis, interviews, and participant observation.
The research did find that all practices had developmental outcomes but were limited in sustainability because of barriers between the community, national and global level.
The research further showed a blend of SfD and SD in the practices. Three prototypes for SfD delivery emerged with different strengths. SfD practices operating in marginal communities should try to operate as a hybrid and operate in different formal sectors, tapping into networks and funding of non- sport sectors and the traditional sports sector. They should focus on setting up a community-based sport club based on a holistic and integrated approach. The research further showed the need for more emphasis and insight in the local context in which delivery takes place.
