On September 19, TAFISA hosted the inaugural meeting of the SUCCEED Advisory Board and Governing Committee, marking a significant milestone for the project.

The gathering marked the start of a coordinated effort to integrate SUCCEED’s key objectives — collective action, a consortium approach, and shared measurement—into capacity-building initiatives. The project’s two-layer governance structure, consisting of the Advisory Board and Governing Committee, plays a pivotal role in shaping and advancing these efforts.

  • The Advisory Board provides strategic guidance and expertise, ensuring alignment with global best practices and validating the impact measurement systems.
  • The Governing Committee oversees the execution of SUCCEED’s priorities, from strategy development to ensuring effective cross-sector collaboration.

Several key areas were addressed during the meeting, including the Theory of Change, which will serve as the strategic framework guiding the initiative’s long-term impact on the global sporting landscape. The meeting emphasized a systems-oriented approach, ensuring that individual programs integrate seamlessly into a cohesive strategy to achieve SUCCEED’s overarching goals.

The inaugural meeting of the SUCCEED Advisory Board and Governing Committee laid a strong foundation for the project’s future. With a clear governance structure, a collaborative framework, and a committed team of global leaders, SUCCEED is positioned to make a lasting impact on communities worldwide through the power of sport. This meeting was just the first step in what promises to be an exciting journey toward fostering inclusivity, sustainability, and community development through Sport for All.

TAFISA looks forward to the continued progress and collaboration within SUCCEED as the project moves into its next phase!
