2021-2024 Programmes

The NOCs receive targeted advice to help them fulfil their mission, along with financial, technical and administrative assistance through programmes developed by Olympic Solidarity.

The World Programmes are split into three development areas and five programme clusters covering specific sports development activities. The Continental Programmes meet the NOCs’ specific needs, taking into account the priorities of each continent. IOC Subsidies for NOCs’ Participation in Olympic Games and Youth Olympic Games support the NOCs at three stages: before, during and after the Games.

Throughout the Olympic Solidarity 2021-2024 Plan, and in accordance with the Olympic Solidarity’s policy of decentralisation, the five Continental Associations of NOCs can offer specific Continental Programmes to their constituent NOCs. Continental Programmes offer the NOCs access to technical, financial and administrative assistance which addresses the specific needs and priorities of the NOCs in that continent. Taking into consideration the global Olympic Solidarity priorities and targets for the 2021-2024 period, they complement the programmes offered at the world level and are administered by each Continental Association Olympic Solidarity office, following consultation and in complete coordination with the Olympic Solidarity international office in Lausanne.

When drawing up and developing their Continental Programmes and budgets for 2021-2024, the Continental Associations should cover several minimum basic and common requirements, including allocating annual direct subsidies of a minimum of USD 125,000 to each NOC for the development of their own NOC programme of national activities, and limiting to a maximum of 30 per cent the share of administration costs and assistance towards the organisation of statutory meetings of the Continental Associations.

The IOC Subsidies for NOCs’ Participation in Olympic Games and Youth Olympic Games provided by Olympic Solidarity aim to assist NOCs in covering part of the costs linked to their participation in the Olympic Games and the Youth Olympic Games.

The financial assistance has two complementary objectives: to help foster the universal spirit of the Olympic Games by guaranteeing the participation of all NOCs, and to give additional support to NOCs for their contribution to the development and success of the Games.
