◇There is increasing evidence that NGOs and Government agencies are turning to sport events
5 as a tool for reconciliation and inter-community peace projects (Burnett, 2006; Gasser &
6 Levinsen, 2004; Stidder & Haasner, 2007; Sugden, 2006), yet the different roles and
7 responsibilities of the organising ‘change agent’ within development projects has not received
8 much empirical investigation. To address this gap, this paper analyses the different roles and
9 responsibilities of an international sport event change agent in the ethnically divided Sri
10 Lanka. Following an interpretivist mode of inquiry, findings of this research are derived from
11 the analysis of two focus groups and 35 in-depth interviews with Sinhalese, Tamil, Muslim
12 and international event stakeholders.
13
14 The findings suggest that the change agent holds nine key roles and responsibilities in the
15 inter-community development process. These are being an agent for community participation;
16 a trust builder; a networker; a leader; a socially responsible advocate; a resource developer; a
17 proactive innovator; a financial supporter; and a strategic planner for the long-term
18 sustainability of projects. This research suggests that it is important to fulfil these roles to
19 secure active community participation, to achieve positive socio-cultural event impacts and
20 outcomes, and to provide a strategic framework for sustainable inter-community
21 development.
