> **Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation**
*“Sport can encourage innovative approaches to industrialization and inspire innovation. It can contribute to equitable access for all by providing accessible sport infrastructure and spaces. Sport can also support building and reconstruction of resilient infrastructure, including sport facilities.” (UNOSDP)*
The potential contribution of sport toward ‘industry, innovation and infrastructure’:
* Serving as a platform to facilitate the renovation and construction of sports grounds as well as local capacity development
* Generating enhancement in the overall community involvement, and motivating the mobilization of the wider community and the growth of economic activities associated with sport
* Providing strategies for sustainable action regarding the maintenance of sports grounds and the delivery of S4D activities.
