13:1 - The Social Return on Investing into Sport for Girls in Delhi

Laureus Sport for Good developed the Sport for Good City approach, a bottom-up approach to improve the lives of local communities using sport as a catalyst for change. Laureus has implemented this approach around the world, including in Delhi, India beginning in 2018.

To measure the impact of Sport for Good City Delhi, this evaluation (conducted in partnership with the University of Southern California) applied a social return on investment (SROI) approach to identify comprehensively what outcomes have resulted from the program to date and the value they have created in the lives of the program’s key stakeholders. By applying the SROI approach in this study, this report also provides the opportunity to reflect on the applicability of SROI as an evaluation approach for Laureus and the wider sport-for-development community.
