Common use of BACKGROUND & PURPOSE Clause in Contracts

BACKGROUND & PURPOSE. TAFISA and the Smart Cities & Sport Network are two leading international bodies in their fields, whose common goal is to promote physical activity and healthy lifestyles around the world and, in particular, in the city setting, as a way to reach sustainable development. The Sport for All and physical activity movement has evolved in recent years and continues to gain momentum. For this reason, there is an ever-increasing need for the flagship organisations of this movement, and its closely-related sectors, to understand and cooperate with each other to lead the movement in the right direction. As home of the majority of the world population, Cities are the main place where sport policies are implemented and are the relevant vectors for sport practice. The Smart Cities & Sport Network covers a large panorama of city concerns from social inclusion, urban planning, city branding, tourism, economic development, gender equality, infrastructure management to healthy and active lifestyles. A strong alliance between TAFISA and the Smart Cities & Sport Network would create the foundation for more effective influence and could provide the level of international cooperation necessary to reach the common goals of both organisations. The purpose of this Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is to define the principles of cooperation between TAFISA and the World Union of Olympic Cities through its Smart Cities & Sport Network. It is a non-legally binding document.
