Sport as a tool to prevent crime and drug abuse
The project led by ACON uses sport as a tool to prevent and tackle crime and drug abuse among young people, notably by reducing physical inactivity, encouraging skill building using the unifying power of sport. The total budget of the project is estimated at approximately €50,000 over a period of 1 year.
Context
Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa with one of the youngest populations in the world. Young people make up 43% of its population and according to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC 2017), about 40% of them use illicit substances.
Through its programme, ANOC mobilises young people in the practice of several sports activities in order to reduce school dropout rates, drug addiction and crime.
Objectives
- Promote good health and a healthy lifestyle among Nigerian youth and prevent drug use
- Promote gender equality by involving girls to a greater extent in different activities and by sensitising men on gender-based violence
- Promote peace by reducing violence among youth and creating a more conducive environment for their development
Activities
- Physical and sports activities (football, basketball, tennis) to develop the self-confidence of young boys and girls
- Awareness seminars for teachers, on how sport can be used as an educational and preventive tool against early school leaving
- Workshops on gender issues, equality and awareness raising sessions on violence against women and girls
- Training and capacity building of managers in the organisation of sports events
Impact
- Improved skills and knowledge of 500 youth on crime, violence and drug use
- Reduced crime and substance abuse
- Increase in the practice of sports by young people to promote their personal development
