Job description
Background
PLAY International is a French non-governmental organization founded in 1999 that leverages the power of sport to address social challenges affecting children and youth, particularly those in vulnerable situations. Operating at the intersection of education, protection, and social inclusion, the organization uses sport as an innovative pedagogical tool to promote access to education, gender equality, health awareness, social cohesion, and inclusion of persons with disabilities.
Since its creation, PLAY International has implemented projects in over 20 countries, benefiting nearly one million children worldwide. The organization opened its mission in Rwanda in 2024, working in close collaboration with local stakeholders, including schools, community groups, and sports actors. Through its programs, PLAY International seeks to create safe, inclusive, and supportive environments where children and young people can learn, grow, and thrive. Its interventions are guided by strong principles of child protection, gender equality, and social cohesion.
Context and Challenges
Despite Rwanda's progress in promoting sports for development, challenges persist in ensuring that sport environments are safe, inclusive, and accessible to all. Girls, in particular, continue to face barriers such as discrimination, harmful social norms, and risks of violence, limiting their participation and potential benefits from sport.
Project Overview
The "All Girls in Sport" project aims to contribute to the reduction of gender inequalities by promoting girls' participation in sport in Rwanda and Burundi. The project seeks to foster inclusive sport practices for all children, with a particular focus on increasing opportunities and access for girls within their communities.
Call for Expression of Interest
This Terms of Reference outlines the selection process for Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and Sport Entities to participate in the incubation program under the All Girls in Sport initiative.
