About
NSA International
1 // About NSA International
NSA International is an ambitious non-profit organization,
dedicated to the strengthening of the capacity of sports and
developing programmes in Africa, Asia and South America.
In the Netherlands, we aim at strengthening the basis for
the themes of sports and development cooperation. NSA
International believes in the connecting force of sports and
stimulates the development of networks for development.
Each day, our partner organizations dedicate themselves
to successful sports & development activities, in such a way
that fraternization and equal opportunities for every one are
brought about.
For more than ten years, NSA International, in cooperation
with its local partners, has supported developing programmes
in for instance Burkina Faso, Egypt, Indonesia, Kenya, Mali,
Uganda, South Sudan, Surinam and South Africa.
To us, sports is the means to activate people. This is what
makes us tick!

EGYPT
In 2012, NSA International carried out an identification
study of the state of affairs concerning sports for peace &
development in Egypt and the development needs of local
organizations in this matter. The identification is used as the
basis of the development of a programme strategy with the
underlying activities. There were talks with ten organizations
and about three independent consultants and there was an
additional visit to the Netherlands Embassy for orientation on
cooperation. The organizations consulted are located in Cairo,
but apart from Cairo, their activities are also aimed at other
big cities and Upper Egypt.

INDONESIA
In the autumn of 2012, NSA International supported a
sports tournament for more than 200 disabled children in
the Moluccas. Disabled children in Moluccan society seldom
have an opportunity to participate in sports, not in the least
together with able people. Disabled people are often pushed
to the margins of society. Through sports, NSA International
aims at involving as many young people as possible in
Indonesian society and providing them with the means to play
a useful and meaningful role in that society. This involves boys
and girls with and without a disability.

KENYA, UGANDA AND
SOUTH SUDAN
In 2012, NSA International elaborated on the results of the
programme Sports Coalitions in Kenya. In the course of this
programme, about twenty Kenyan sports & development
organizations (CBOs and NGOs) from different regions, joined
forces in the ‘Kenyan Netherlands Sports for Development
Partnership’ (KNSDP). Led by the coordinating organization
‘Seeds of Peace Africa’ (SOPA), this partnership focussed
on a joint development in six subsectors during the past two
years. Based on this successful partnership, the Kenyan
organizations involved decided to continue their cooperation
for the next few years as ‘Kenyan Sports for Development
Partnership’ (KSDP).

SURINAM
In 2012, NSA International aimed at strengthening the
community sports & culture organizations in Surinam by means
of strengthening youth leadership. For this, a start was made
by training 40 youth leaders. Through these youth leaders,
the organizations can develop into role models of ‘sports
development’ in Surinam. Proceeding from this role, they can in the long term - support and strengthen local initiatives.

Omgekeerde ontwikkelingshulp: een Afrikaanse consultant in Utrecht
Na vrede in Kenia rust in Ondiep
Ook Nederland krijgt
ontwikkelingshulp. Zo leren
jongerenwerkers in Utrecht
van Ambrose Ongwen,
die geweld in Oost-Afrika
terugdrong.
Door Hille Takken
Utrecht. „Ze noemen mij Mister
Nobody”, zegt Ambrose Ongwen tegen een groep voetballende jongeren
in de Utrechtse wijk Ondiep. „Ik
kreeg die naam van jonge Keniaanse
krijgers toen ik hun vertelde: ‘Niemand zal het roven van vee stoppen.
Niemand zal jullie vrede brengen.
Jullie zullen het zelf moeten doen.’”
Ongwen, een grote Keniaan van een
jaar of zestig, wist het dodelijke geweld in het onrustige grensgebied
van zijn land met Oeganda en ZuidSoedan in te dammen. Hij overtuigde de veehouders die er met geweld
elkaars koeien roofden, hun wapens
neer te leggen. Hij liet de strijders
voetballen in plaats van vechten, zodat ze evengoed als held thuiskwamen. Door dat succes geniet hij nu
zelf een soort heldenstatus.
Deze week is de consultant in conflictmanagement, zoals hij zichzelf
omschrijft, in Utrecht om te praten
met jongerenwerkers. Zijn bezoek
kan beschouwd worden als een soort
omgekeerde ontwikkelingshulp.
Ongwen, die toen hij jong was
missionaris wilde worden, spreekt
vol zelfvertrouwen over de rol die hij
in Nederland denkt te kunnen spelen. „Ontwikkelingshulp is niet alleen een stroom geld. Het gaat ook
om kennis en ervaring, en ja, wat dat
betreft kan ik zeker iets bijdragen.
Mijn suggestie zou bijvoorbeeld zijn
om positiever te kijken naar lastige
jongeren. Stigmatiseer je ze als criminelen, dan gaat dat tegenwerken.
Kijk liever naar wat ze wel kunnen.”
Carin Boersma, woordvoerder van
de organisatie die het bezoek van
Ongwen mogelijk heeft gemaakt,
terugtrekkende overheid”, zegt zij.
De Utrechtse jongerenwerkers die
naar Ongwen zijn komen luisteren,
vuren gretig vragen af. Hebben Keniaanse krijgers te maken met verschillende religies? („Nee, en ze spreken
ook dezelfde taal.”) Was het hun keuze om geen overheid bij het oplossen
van de problemen te betrekken?
(„Nee, er was geen functionerende
overheid.”) En verder: drinken Keniaanse krijgers ook alcohol? („Nee, er
is geen bar te vinden in hun regio. Ze
kunnen het wel zelf brouwen, maar
dat is te lastig omdat ze rondtrekken.”) Maar ze kauwen wel qat, toch?
‘Ook jongeren in achterstandswijken worden
crimineel omdat het ze een heldenstatus geeft’
formuleert het zo: „Maatschappelijke vraagstukken in Nederland doen
soms denken aan die in ontwikkelingslanden. Ook jongeren in achterstandswijken hier worden verleid tot
criminele activiteiten omdat ze daarmee een heldenstatus verwerven.”
Boersma denkt bovendien dat Nederland kan leren van landen waar,
door een afwezige of falende overheid, veel meer creatieve oplossingen
uit de maatschappij zelf moeten komen. „Dat is des te interessanter nu
Nederland te maken heeft met een
(„Nee, ze denken alleen aan de koeien die ze willen behouden en de koeien die ze erbij willen. Zonder koeien
kunnen ze niet overleven. Ze willen
dus scherp blijven en daar kunnen ze
geen drugs bij gebruiken.”)
Door het Utrechtse Ondiep lopen
geen koeien en in het Keniaanse
grensgebied spelen drugs en alcohol
geen rol. Toch zijn er ook overeenkomsten tussen de beide werkvelden, benadrukt Ongwen. „Wij werken met jongeren die een plekje in de
samenleving willen, die erkenning
zoeken voor wat ze kunnen en bevestiging van wie ze zijn.”
Na hun gesprek wandelen Ongwen en de jongerenwerkers door de
buurt. Eerst langs een nieuwe hangplek met een dak en stalen stoeltjes –
volgens de toelichting van een jongerenwerker ‘hufterproof’. Vervolgens
loopt het gezelschap langs een speeltuin waar het zo goed gaat dat de gemeente onlangs het cameratoezicht
heeft opgeschort, langs een ‘zwarte
school’, en het Cruyff Court. Daar
voetballen ze een potje met een paar
enthousiaste jongens en vertelt Ambrose Ongwen ook hun over zijn achtergrond en ideeën.
De Marokkaans-Nederlandse jongerenwerker Soufian Lamdaghri (30)
ziet weinig in het idee van omgekeerde ontwikkelingshulp. „De verschillen tussen Nederland en Kenia zijn
wel erg groot, en volgens mij zijn wij
veel verder met talentontwikkeling.”
Zijn Turks-Nederlandse collega
Emin Yilmaz (42) is wel onder de indruk van het werken met schaarse
middelen. „Zij werken veel breder,
ook aan alternatieve inkomstenbronnen voor jongeren. Vergeleken
daarmee zijn wij verwend. Wij kijken
voor ieder probleem naar de overheid en doen niets aan maatschappijopbouw. Zolang we lastige jongeren
van de straat houden, doen we het
hier al goed genoeg.”
