GO Directory of PEPAS Knowledge Institutions and Initiatives 

The GO (Global Observatory) Directory of PEPAS Knowledge Institutions and Initiatives aims to connect expertise working in knowledge mobilization, research, data, and sharing in the field of Physical Education, Physical Activity, and Sport (PEPAS).

Knowledge Institutions and Initiatives (KII) exist in diverse formats including research centers and groups, private companies, projects, networks, and non for profits among others. KIIs play an important role in providing knowledge, generating questions, analyses, and design and implement actions that are valuable to research, policy, and practice. Centralising information will contribute to enhancing access and connection among institutions and stakeholders.  

The Directory is targeted at users looking for research and consultancy services, networks to join, conference speakers, advisers and consultants, as well as knowledge outputs on specific topics. It is also valuable in identifying expertise in specified geographic regions. Staff of policy making institutions, academic actors, researchers, safe sport activists, and sport practitioner organizations may find the GO Directory a valuable resource. 

Data Collection

The initial data were collected in 2024 with contribution of  Kyniska Advocacy. This first phase of the directory focuses on KIIs that work on themes of violence, gender based violence, violence against women and girls, safeguarding and protection and related topics within the PEPAS context. 

Currently, the data collection process is ongoing through survey. The data and associated products (visualizations and a searchable directory) are updated periodically, at least annually, based on the availability of new data. The GO reserves the right to modify, amend, or delete any data entry.  

New Data Entry and Data Validation 

If you are associated with or aware of any KII that aligns with the directory’s purpose, please feel free to complete the data collection survey. If you notice any gaps or errors in the existing data, don’t hesitate to contact us at info@genderequalitysport.org .
