After the adoption of the Doha Declaration at the Thirteenth United Nations Crime Congress in 20151, UNODC launched a Global Programme on the Implementation of the Doha Declaration, which stressed the fundamental role of youth participation in crime prevention efforts. This UNODC Global Programme includes a component on Youth Crime Prevention through Sports (YCP), which aims to enhance the capacity of Member States to use sport as a tool for effective youth crime prevention by building resilience of youth to crime, violence and drug use in marginalised areas. The initiative promotes the use of sports as a tool for: o Life skills training; increase knowledge on risks of crime, violence and drug-use; and promote pro-social behavior; o Challenge normative believes and perceptions related to violence and crime, including gender-based violence, and promote tolerance, respect and non-discrimination; o Enhance participation and empowerment of young persons; o Creating safe public spaces in the community for young people to develop, participate and positively interact with their peers and the community. The initiative consists of four main pillars: The “Line Up Live Up” initiative, a sport-based, evidence-informed life skills training curriculum for youth; A grant scheme to support civil society organizations in promoting the use of sport for youth violence and crime prevention; Providing equipment support to schools, sports facilities and community centres to facilitate access to sport and refurbishment of sport facilities in selected marginalized communities Awareness raising activities on the use of sport as a tool for violence and crime prevention.
