GAPs is a Commonwealth Games Federation initiative aimed at promoting a peace programme that supports inclusive sports pathways.
The goal of GAPs is to offer emerging athletes and coaches from the Commonwealth, additional skills and resources.
This is driven through education as it supports inclusive sports pathways to also promote social change throughout the Commonwealth.
It was introduced during the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games staged in Australia.
