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 makes us physically and mentally healthy, and creates a sense of community. In addition, it 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 obstacles and to enjoy it.
The stakeholders of the sports agreement include sports and exercise providers, education and child partners, care and welfare partners, village platforms, and active foundations in the core areas and governments. In the municipality of West Maas en Waal, we have worked together to draw up a local sports agreement. We have initiated a movement following the National Sports Agreement of 2018.

Local Prevention Agreement
In the municipality of West Maas en Waal, we believe it is important for people to live healthy lives. Our focus is on prevention, or rather, prevention is better than cure. The municipality, together with local organizations and partners, is launching the local Prevention Agreement to commit to health prevention. With this collaboration and the local Prevention Agreement, we aim for a vital society where residents can develop and maintain a healthy lifestyle. The local Prevention Agreement was signed in 2021. It is derived from the National Prevention Agreement of 2018 and tailored for the municipality of West Maas en Waal.

- Healthy weight
- Mental well-being
Coherence between the Local Sports Agreement and the Local Prevention Agreement
The Local Sports Agreement and the Local Prevention Agreement are dynamic documents. Over time, priorities and key objectives may change. We will align the Local Sports Agreement with the Revised National Sports Agreement 2.0 dated December 14, 2022. And we hope that even more organizations and projects will join us.
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 one agreement in which all our efforts in health prevention and sports will be interconnected. The first step to bring sports and prevention closer together has been taken by organizing Sports and Prevention Cafés.
