Universities and the Olympic Games
websitebuilder-hub • Nov 22, 2017
The London 2012 Olympic Games were widely acknowledged to be among the most successful Games in history.
Part of the reason for London's success was that discussion about the Games' future legacy had begun even before the bid was won. In 2007 OpenCities director Marc Stephens (who was previously in charge of developing the blueprint for the Games' social legacy while at the Mayor of London's development agency) was asked to present a paper at a conference sponsored by the Guardian newspaper in London on how universities in countries such as the USA are an important source of future professional athletes.
The results that came out of OpenCities' research were quite surprising.

CPFs help to ensure that the World Bank's country driven model is systematic, evidence-based, selective, and focused on ending extreme poverty and increasing shared prosperity in a sustainable manner. CPFs lay out the main country development goals that WBG aims to help the country achieve, and propose a selective program of indicative WBG interventions for this purpose. More specific CPF objectives are derived from these country development goals. These are then used to monitor the program during the CPF cycle and evaluate it at the end. Performance and Learning Reviews (PLRs) are prepared mid-way through the CPF cycle. PLRs identify and capture lessons, and determine midcourse corrections in the CPF objectives and program of interventions.
The goal of GRP is to help communities in the Sahel, Horn of Africa, South Asia and South East Asia to better adapt to climatic shocks and thrive in a more resilient future. GRP brokers partnerships and investment opportunities between private, public and not-for-profit bodies around the globe and local communities in vulnerable communities.
