Advising both local and non-local partner organizations is a part of working within the development cooperation context. Consulting means helping people to help themselves, by building their **technical and personal competences** and by further developing organisational and management structures, procedures and processes. The Guidelines below give insights on how advisory and **consulting processes** can be designed to ensure a successful outcome in the field of S4D. The questionnaires provided are ideal M&E Tools to track scaling-up processes within a programme. ## **Guidelines** * Guideline "Capacity Development in the field of S4D" (GIZ, 2018, en) * [Guideline "S4D Toolkit Glossary" (GIZ-DSHS, 2020, en)](https://www.sport-for-development.com/imglib/downloads/Guidelines/giz-dshs2021-en-guideline-s4d-toolkit-glossary.pdf "[377] Download File") * [Guideline "S4D and the Agenda 2030" (GIZ, 2018, en)](https://www.sport-for-development.com/imglib/downloads/Guidelines/giz2019-guideline-s4d-and-the-agenda-2030-targets-and-indicators.pdf "[295] Download File") * [Guideline "General S4D Background" (GIZ, 2020, en)](https://www.sport-for-development.com/imglib/downloads/Guidelines/giz2020-guideline-general-s4d-background.pdf "[310] Download File") **Description** **Guidelines** contain helpful recommendation on how to organize and structure certain processes and/or activities in the working area of S4D and can be used for consultancy as well. * The Guideline **"S4D Toolkit Glossary"** contains a list of shortly defined terms related to S4D which can be supportive in advising organizations or institutions. * The Guideline **"S4D and the Agenda 2030"** summarise the contribution of sport regarding certain SDGs. * The Guideline **"General S4D Background"** gives some useful background information about S4D and answers some basic wuestions, such as "Which role can play sport in development". * The Guideline **"Capacity Development in the field of S4D"** describes CD activities on different levels, including actors and methodological approaches in the field of S4D. ## **M&E Tools Scaling-up** * [M&E Tool/Template "Länderbericht Scaling-up" (GIZ-DSHS, 2017, de)](https://www.sport-for-development.com/imglib/downloads/giz-dshs2017-de-laenderbericht-template-scaling-up.docx "[11] Download File") * [M&E Tool/Template "Country Report Scaling-up" (GIZ-DSHS, 2017, en)](https://www.sport-for-development.com/imglib/downloads/giz-dshs2017-en-country-report-template-scaling-up.docx "[43] Download File") * [M&E Tool/Template "Partner questionnaire Scaling-up" (GIZ-DSHS, 2017, en)](https://www.sport-for-development.com/imglib/downloads/giz-dshs2017-en-partner-questionnaire-scaling-up.docx "[44] Download File") * [M&E Tool/Template "Cuestionario Aliados Scaling-up" (GIZ-DSHS, 2017, es)](https://www.sport-for-development.com/imglib/downloads/giz-dshs2017-es-cuestionario-aliados-scaling-up.docx "[234] Download File") * [M&E Tool/Template "Questionario para parceiros de cooperacao" (GIZ-DSHS, 2017, pt)](https://www.sport-for-development.com/imglib/downloads/giz-dshs2017-pt-questionario-para-parceiros-de-cooperacao.docx "[257] Download File") **Description** **M&E Tools** allow to measure and understand outputs and outcomes of certain S4D processes and/or activities in your working context. The M&E Tools reflect scaling-up processes from **different perspectives**. They aim to reflect scaling-up processes within a programme from the point of view of **employees and partner organizations** working in the development cooperation context. ## **Sports Grounds** * [Sport For Development Knowledge Box (GIZ S4DA, 2019, en)](https://www.sport-for-development.com/imglib/downloads/Manuale/giz-s4da2019-en-s4d-knowledge-box.pdf "[347] Download File") **Description** The **Knowledge Box** contains guidelines, tools and manuals developed by the ‘Sport for Development in Africa’ (S4DA) Regional Project and its partners. Combining learnings on capacity development for sport for development and on the construction of grassroots sports grounds from 13 African countries the Knowledge Box gives guidance how to create ‘Sports Grounds with Concepts!’. **THE FRAMEWORK - Sports Grounds with Concepts!** gives an overview of Sport for Development (S4D) and explores how to assure its sustainable implementation. The framework that is outlined in this introductory section is relevant for all following parts of the knowledge box: it shows how to link the S4D approach to the organisation to obtain sustainability – both in regards to the long term maintenance of sports infrastructure and the regular implementation of S4D-activities. **PART 1 - Sustainable Sports Infrastructure** explores the question ‘How to construct, renovate and maintain grassroots sports grounds’. First, it presents a **Standard Design Manual for Grassroots Sports Grounds**, which guides you through all key questions of constructing sports grounds and proposes an easy-to-implement and cost-efficient standard design. Second, it contains a **Maintenance and Repair Manual for Grassroots Sports Grounds**, which explains how to extend the life span of sports grounds by keeping them functional and of high quality. **PART 2 - Expanding S4D-Capacities** explores the question ‘How to train coaches and instructors, organise S4D-camps and handle sports equipment’. It contains a guideline dedicated to **S4D coaches and instructors**: their roles, their selection and their qualification. A second guideline introduces **S4D-camps** as a special format, where coaches can apply their knowledge and children and youth can experience S4D in a concentrated way during several days in a row. Finally, this part explores the purpose and handling of **sports equipment** and provides tips and tricks for practitioners. **PART 3 - Putting S4D into Practice** explores how to promote life skills through sports and gives you an idea how S4D can look like in practice. It contains sport-pedagogical manuals and drillbooks that give suggestions how to prepare and implement S4D-sessions and illustrate specific S4D-exercises.
