Local Sports and Prevention Agreement
Local Sports Agreement
The ambition is that by 2040, sports and physical activity will be a matter of course for everyone. This will make us physically and mentally healthy and create a sense of community. It also offers opportunities for talent development and is simply an enjoyable leisure activity. Everyone in West Maas en Waal should have the opportunity to participate in sports and exercise without hindrance and to enjoy doing so.
The players involved in the sports agreement include sports and exercise providers, education and children's partners, healthcare and welfare partners, village platforms, and active foundations in the communities and local authorities. In the municipality of West Maas en Waal, we have joined forces to draw up a local sports agreement. We have set a movement in motion in line with the 2018 National Sports Agreement.

Local Prevention Agreement
In the municipality of West Maas en Waal, we believe it is important for people to live healthy lives. We focus on prevention, because prevention is better than cure. The municipality, together with local organizations and partners, is launching the local Prevention Agreement to promote health prevention. With this collaboration and the local Prevention Agreement, we are striving for a vital society in which residents develop and maintain a healthy lifestyle. The local Prevention Agreement was signed in 2021. It is based on the National Prevention Agreement from 2018 and tailored to the municipality of West Maas en Waal.

Ambitions and priorities of the local Prevention Agreement
The ambitions are in line with the national priorities:
- Smoke less
- Reduced alcohol consumption and substance use
- Healthy weight
- Mental well-being
Coherence between local Sports Agreement and local Prevention Agreement
The local Sports Agreement and local Prevention Agreement are dynamic. Ambitions or priorities may change over time. We will realign the local Sports Agreement with the Renewed National Sports Agreement 2.0 of December 14, 2022. And we hope that even more organizations or projects will join.
In the future, the municipality of West Maas en Waal aims to merge the local Sports Agreement and the local Prevention Agreement. We are therefore working towards a single agreement in which everything we do in terms of health prevention and sports will be linked. The first step towards bringing sports and prevention closer together has been taken by organizing Sports and Prevention Cafés.
