This book makes an important contribution to the growing literature on sport in international development. It introduces and explores the practice and efficacy of international sport development through the experiences of young people who become engaged in sport programmes, as described in their own words and those of other members of their communities. The book also engages with fundamental academic debates surrounding ‘evidencing’ impacts of sport and explores issues surrounding the cultural specificity of research approaches currently in use in sport in development work. Based on unique data, the book extends our knowledge and understanding of youth sport and is essential reading for anybody with an interest in sport development, international development or sport in society.
