Action 4 of the Kazan Action Plan was a call to member nations for conducting a feasibility study on the establishment of a Global Observatory for Women, Sport, Physical Education and Physical Activity in alignment with its mission of promoting the empowerment of women and girls in and through sport as fundamental components of national and international sport policy which are seen as crucial factors for good governance, and for maximizing the contribution of sport to sustainable development and peace. The State of Switzerland pledged to provide the necessary resources for achieving Action 4, thus providing new impetus to achieving the goal of gender equality in and through sport.
