👟🎽In , something simple is making a big difference: more opportunities for people to move, play, and be active.

Across schools and communities, the Community Sport and Health Cooperation Initiative is helping make sport and physical activity a regular part of everyday life. It does this through communication campaigns, school and community programs, nationwide competitions, practical sport-for-health resources, and the innovative “School Sports Ambassador” model—helping young people build healthier habits and lead more active lives.

And the impact is clear:
✅1.2 million+ people reached through engagement activities
✅229,000+ students and community members supported to stay physically active
✅20.6% increase in students meeting recommended physical activity levels

Implemented by PATH, the Sports Authority of Vietnam, the Nghe An Department of Education and Training, World Health Organization (WHO), the Vietnam Olympics Committee, and other partners. Vietnam is one of five countries, including Ghana, Nepal, Peru, and Tanzania, that are implementing the Sport and Health Cooperation Initiative as part of the International Olympics Committee’s Olympism365 strategy. Together, these efforts are demonstrating what is possible when the sport, health, and education sectors come together around a shared goal: healthier, more active lives for young people.
