This report examines how programming involving Sport for Protection and MHPSS in displacement-affected settings can provide sustainable psychosocial achievements for youth, only when grounded in the societal realities of the context in which the program is located. Findings indicate that sports programs support emotional recovery, routine and inclusion, when locally led and gender responsive. Safe spaces, mentorship, and community trust are key to these programs' success. Persistent barriers include security concerns, social norms, and limited funding.
