the contribution sport can make to sustainable
development. Magglingen Declaration Develop
ment of sport is one of IPCs main targets.

Analysis

• We have to create worldwide the means and the
  opportunities to practice sport.
• It is impossible or very difficult to practice
  any kind of sport at grassroots level.
• Many persons with a disability are unaware of the
  fact that sport could lead to improvement of
  their life / social environment.

5
Analysis (cont.)

• IPC has a social role to play and it should
  assume its responsibilities in creating equal
  opportunities for all.
• There are too many and too major differences
  within the Paralympic Movement (differences
  between countries and regions and sports).
• Permanent attention is required for the
  improvement of sports technical and sports
  organizational structures.

6
Strategy

• An inventory to be gathered on what organizations
  are undertaking which development activities.
• An inventory about the needs of sport development
  worldwide country by country and sport by
  sport, etc.
• On the information gathered (needs) IPC will
  create development projects / programmes

7
Strategy (cont.)

• The project / programmes must lead to a
  sustainable and structural improvement of the
  current situation.
• Projects / programmes form an integral part of
  IPCs long term development plan (WWDP).

8
Strategy (cont.)

• The WWDP must include a clear identification of
  priorities based on the questions
• Why (rationale, goals, etc.)
• Where (country, regions, etc.)
• When (seasons, timing, etc.)
• What (purposes, areas, etc.)
• Conditions (finances, rules, etc.)

  IPC Fundraisers.

  active in field of (sport) development.

  coordination / support.

  coordination, implementation and monitoring to
  the IPC Development Committee.

  working in the field of development will be
  represented (e.g. IOSDs, regions, NPCs, sports,
  etc.).

  organizations (e.g. IOC, NGOs, U.N. agencies,
  etc.)
