<p>Sport England's 2013-17 Whole Sport Plan investment in the national governing bodies of sport (NGBs) is focused on increasing overall participation with an emphasis on young people and disabled people. Sport England rigorously reviews the performance of each NGB every six months. Each NGB is subject to a robust performance management regime. This includes a ‘payment for results’ approach that focuses on delivering the participation increases agreed in their Whole Sport Plans. NGBs receiving Sport England investment have ambitious targets to increase participation in their sport and these would not be achievable without the engagement of women.

Targets set are for overall participation levels for men and women combined; there are no separate women specific targets.</p>
