Effecting Positive Change Through Sports<\/h2>

Compounding to these behaviors as a country, there are few fitness and wellness programs made available to the population. This has resulted in a majority of people to lead sedentary lives resulting in the increase in None Communicable Diseases (NCDs); Hypertension (High BP), arthritis, cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks, stroke, cancer and diabetes. For example, hypertension alone is estimated to have a prevalence of 33% across the population.<\/p>

However, different countries have used sports to advocate for different agendas such as promoting good health, education and advocate for policy changes. Sports have also been used as a tool for community development. It has been used to mobilize people and provide different information on HIV and AIDS, Malaria and sexual reproductive health.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
