MINEPS VII is a global conference engaging governments, athletes, private sector, and other stakeholders to increase investment in sport, improve sport practices, foster quality physical education, and magnify the positive impact of sport on health, society and the economy. The conference was a valuable occasion for sport ministers and other stakeholders to define the future of the sport-for-development ecosystem, culminating with the launch of the Fit for Life Alliance. 

For the first time, the Conference was preceded by a Multistakeholder Forum (26-27 June) gathering high-level representatives from the private sector, development banks, athletes, and mayors to engage in a collective discussion on the importance of measuring the impact of sport to foster participation, attract investments and improve individual and societal wellbeing.
