Abstract
The establishment of sport within the international development assistance portfolio signifies wider changes in the development assistance agenda as well as the expanding developmental role of a range of key sports organizations and agencies. The structure and objectives of such initiatives highlight shifting priorities of sports organizations as actors in international society, as well as informing wider debate concerning what constitutes effective international development assistance. Governmental and non-governmental sports organizations pursue their objectives through a range of international development assistance initiatives, while at the same time the efficacy of assistance based on reciprocal interests continues to provide the context for programme development. Tension between the principle of reciprocity and the pursuit of self-interest continues to challenge notions of mutualism. The effective management of this tension through open and transparent dialogue between donors and recipients predicates successful development assistance.
