Overview :
Building on the 13th United Nations Crime Congress and UNODC’s strong mandate and expertise in the field of crime and drug prevention, the Office has launched a global initiative aimed at youth crime prevention through sports. This initiative aims to build resilience of at-risk youth by drawing on sport as a vehicle to reduce anti-social behaviour and provide valuable life skills training. The objective is to increase adaptive and positive behaviour by addressing vulnerabilities that are linked to violence, crime, as well as drug use. Within this context, UNODC developed a sport-based life skills curriculum that may be incorporated in sport programmes in a wide-variety of settings. This curriculum has been tested in Brazil and is being piloted in Brazil, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Kyrgyzstan, Peru, the State of Palestine, South Africa, Tajikistan and Uganda. A process and impact assessment is currently being carried out in Brazil.The Line Up Live Up training curriculum, aims to utilise basic life skills that have been identified as significant in building resilience amongst young people to crime and violence, through a sports-based delivery mechanism. Life skills are “a set of personal and interpersonal skills that enable individuals to deal effectively with the demands, stresses and interpersonal conflicts of everyday life.” Such skills help minimise the risk factors and enhance the protective factors, or resilience, related to antisocial behaviour, crime, violence and drug use. In addition, the curriculum aims to enhance knowledge of crime, violence and drug use and the risks involved.
The programme has been designed to be delivered over ten sessions to young people of both sexes, from 13 through to 18 years of age. The trainers’ manual is intended to assist coaches, trainers, youth workers and others working with young people to deliver sports-based activities, through which engagement with basic life skills are facilitated.
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) on behalf of United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) hereby invites potential service providers, to submit a Proposal to conduct an Impact Assessment of Line Up Live Up life-skills training curriculum in South Africa (Western Cape province)
