Arthur Gaillard

My research interests focus on the production of knowledge in Sport for Development (SfD). I examine the practices of monitoring and evaluation and how this impacts SfD interventions. I am specifically interested in exploring how sport can be used to address sexual & reproductive health issues.

In 2019, he started a PhD on the production of knowledge in Sport for Development (SfD), which led him to conduct an ethnographic inquiry of a Sport for Development intervention in West Africa.
