En Belgique, les fédérations sportives sont des acteurs essentiels dans le domaine du sport et de l'activité physique. Au nombre de cent soixante environ, elles regroupent plusieurs centaines de clubs, qui affilient quelque deux millions de personnes. La présente étude est consacrée au cadre politique, juridique, économique et social dans lequel évoluent les fédérations belges. Au niveau mondial, diverses structures réglementent la pratique sportive en promouvant l'exercice physique, en harmonisant les réglementations, en organisant les compétitions internationales ou en réglant les litiges (UNESCO, OMS, CIO, Tribunal arbitral du sport, Agence mondiale antidopage, fédérations internationales, etc.). Au niveau européen, l'attention des autorités se porte sur les apports sociaux et éducationnels du sport, ainsi que sur ses implications économiques. Au niveau belge, enfin, une multitude d'instances encadrent les activités des fédérations sportives : l'Autorité fédérale, les communautés, les régions, les provinces, les communes, le COIB, l'ADEPS, le BLOSO, etc. Situant le rôle et l'influence de chacun de ces acteurs, ce Courrier hebdomadaire analyse notamment la gestion du sport dans l'architecture institutionnelle, particulièrement complexe, de la Région bruxelloise. Dans une visée plus prospective, T. Zintz et M. Winand abordent également la question de la performance organisationnelle du système sportif belge.

Nonprofit organizations are facing increasing pressure to become more performance oriented. Most research in this area has focused on the effects of a variety of independent variables on performance with little research focusing on combinations of factors that impact on performance. This article focuses on sport governing bodies from Belgium and measures and assesses their strategic goals and potential determinants of performance. Due to the small N-sample and the causal complexity inherent in this research, a crisp-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (csQCA) was carried out which highlighted three pathways associated with high performance. High performance could be delivered by sport governing bodies that develop innovative activities for their members and are proactive in elite sport services; or that develop innovative activities and involve paid staff in decision-making processes; or that involve committed volunteers in decision-making processes and delegate activities they are not able to deliver themselves.

Community Sport Development Programs (CSDPs) that use an intersectoral capacity building approach have shown potential in reaching individuals in disadvantaged situations. This study has investigated how the application of capacity building principles in disadvantaged communities results in higher sport participation rates in these communities. A multiple case design was used, including six similar disadvantaged communities in Antwerp, Belgium; four communities implemented the CSDP, two communities served as control communities without CSDP. In total, 52 face-to-face interviews were held with sport, social, health, cultural, and youth organizations in these communities. Four key findings were crucial to explain the success of the CSDP according to the principles of capacity building. First, the CSDP appeared to be the missing link between sport organizations on the one hand and health, social, youth, and cultural organizations on the other hand. Second, shifting from a sport-oriented staff to a mix of sport staff, social workers and representatives of people in disadvantaged situations helped increase trust through a participatory approach. Third, CSDPs assisted sport clubs to deal with financial, organizational, and cultural pressures that arose from the influx of new members in disadvantaged situations. Finally, the CSDPs developed well-planned and integrated strategies focusing on reinforcing the existing local organizations already using sport to reach their goals. These capacity building principles were key in attaining higher sport participation for people living in disadvantaged communities.
