“The last four years the economic
crisis has dominated and influenced most societies and citizens. Across
Europe all societies are looking for ways to recover and regain economic
and societal development. This is a challenging process and for sure it
will involve several stakeholders to address and implement the
appropriate and sustainable solutions. The financial crisis started as a
result of very bad governance – the recovery of economic and societal
development need to be based on good governance. This is one of the
reasons why good governance will rank very high on your agenda as leader
of a grassroots sport in the coming years. Being an important sector
with growth potential, both economic wise and improvement of the life of
the citizens in general, comes with expectations to lead and manage the
sector in an appropriate way. It is obvious that good governance in the
leadership of grassroots sport is necessary. However, we cannot just
introduce a given set of rules and regulations and then consider they
will ensure good governance. Good governance depends on your context,
competences and capacity - it depends on you and your colleagues
leadership skills.”
Mogens Kirkeby, ISCA President
Good
Governance in Grassroots Sport (GGGS) project partners concluded that
“we need good governance principles and guidelines for grassroots sport.
We need good governance principles and guidelines that fits, guides and
motivates, both the volunteer and employed leaders in our sector”.
The
GGGS project, with special contribution from Transparency International
Germany, has developed Guidelines for Good Governance in Grassroots
Sport. This document is meant to be a tool to enable grassroots sport
leaders to assume this important responsibility. The purpose of the
guidelines is to provide access to a sport specific governance resource
that will improve governance practices at the board and leadership
level. It can assist members of boards and committees, executive
officers and managers of sport organisations to develop, implement and
maintain a system of governance that fits the particular circumstances
of grassroots sport, and to provide the basic information to establish
and maintain an ethical culture through a committed approach.
The guidelines’ objectives are:
- To help sport leaders (political leaders and managers) better understand their role in Good Governance
- To guide organisations in their desire and process to adhere to Good Governance in sport principles
