Abstract

In recent years, we have seen an increase in sport for development (SfD) research. However, a current integrated literature review on sport for development found that despite the vast majority of SfD projects being located in Third World countries 90% of the authors of the 437 peer-reviewed journal articles were from First World countries. Furthermore, despite the surge in research around sport for development there remains a dearth of SfD researchers who employ the Capability Approach (CA). Even more so when utilising this approach in a South African sports context for research, policy and practice.
