(a). My department was able to provide support to 19 558 schools, clubs and hubs with the sport equipment and attire to the community from April 2018-March 2023. This is against the target of 12 500 Schools, Hubs and Clubs that were targeted during the same period.
(b). During the same period, we were able to ensure that we increase the levels of participation in sport and recreation, improve the health of the citizens through active participation and minimize the increase in non-communicable diseases by ensuring that citizens have access to adequate equipment to practice. It should also be noted that, though 2019-2021, we had the Covid-19 pandemic, that minimized the participation in mass participation programmes, innovative and remote programmes were put in place on various virtual platforms, to promote participation.
