History[edit]
The MCCY was formed on 1 November 2012 as part of a structural reform by the then Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS). The MCYS became the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) and transferred several of its portfolios, such as Youth Development and Sports to MCCY.[2]
In 2022, the Ministry appointed members of the first disciplinary panel to handle moderate to severe cases of misconduct for member organisations under the Safe Sport Programme.[3]
