Continental programmes : More flexibility to respond to specific needs

The continental programmes offer the NOCs access to technical, ANOCA financial and administrative assistance which addresses the specific ( Association of National Olympic Committees of Africa ) needs and priorities of the NOCs in each continent. These programmes [email protected] complement those offered at world level. www.africaolympic.org

Based on criteria laid down by the Olympic Solidarity Commission and PASO after the 2013 – 2016 quadrennial plan budget had been approved, ( Pan-American Sports Organisation ) each continental association drew up a detailed plan for its use of [email protected] the funds available through the continental programmes, in accord- www.paso-odepa.org ance with the specific needs of its continent ( thereby strengthening the policy of flexibility ). This action plan, approved by the continen- OCA tal association’s decision-making body and then by the Chair of the ( Olympic Council of Asia ) Olympic Solidarity Commission, takes into account the continent’s [email protected] needs and fulfils a number of conditions. For example, the funds www.ocasia.org must be allocated as a priority to NOCCOUL.s for the4 development of their own national activity programmes.

ANOCA Association of National Olympic Committees of Africa

The year 2014 was full of activities and events for ANOCA. The main highlights in terms of the implementation of the continental programmes for Africa include the 2 nd African Youth Games in Gaborone ( Botswana ) ; the 31st Seminar for Secretaries General in Algiers ( Algeria ), at which NOCs discussed and agreed on a new communication network and system for the continent ; and the continued implementation of Olympafrica Foundation projects across the continent. There has been a notable increase in the uptake of NOC activities funds by member NOCs.

Following the unfortunate events that surrounded the African Village at the 2012 London Olympic Games, more stringent measures were applied in ANOCA’s negotiations with “ Groupe Jeune Afrique ”, which had expressed an interest in establishing a similar structure at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.

SPECIAL PROJECTS

Objective : to help ANOCA to meet its social obligations and responsibilities, mainly through humanitarian aid ( e.g. to alleviate poverty and hunger or mitigate the effects of natural disasters in Africa ). 2014 Budget : USD 200,000 A special contribution of USD 90,011 was made to the Anani Mathia Olympafrica centre in Lome ( Togo ) from the 2013 and 2014 budgets. The construction of this special centre was commissioned during ANOCA’s 30 th anniversary celebrations in honour of the very first ANOCA President. The work is in full swing and should be completed in 2015. Other special requests that fall within ANOCA’s corpo- rate social responsibility are also being considered and should be addressed in accordance with ANOCA’s financial situation.

PASO Pan-American Sports Organisation

The pan-American Olympic Solidarity programmes, approved by PASO for the 2013 – 2016 quadrennial, continued to be applied in 2014, based on the general principles and rules approved at the PASO Executive Board meeting in November 2012, when it was decided that the full budget assigned to PASO by the Olympic Solidarity Commission for the development of continental programmes in America should be distributed among the 41 PASO-member NOCs.

In 2014, PASO also attended regional forums organised by Olympic Solidarity in Bogotá ( Colombia ) on 10 and 11 October for the Spanish- speaking NOCs, and in Bridgetown ( Barbados ) on 14 and 15 October for the English-speaking NOCs. The forums focused on “ Good governance in the NOCs ”, and their results were considered useful for the work of the American NOCs.

The evaluation of the Festival’s results conducted by the various pan-American confederations for their respective sports was generally positive. The confederations recognised the importance of the event for their sports and proposed examining whether it could be maintained as a preparation event in the next cycle. PASO considers that the success of the Festival should serve as a basis for analysing the appropriateness of its inclusion within the preparatory qualifying competitions for the Pan-American Games.

OCA Olympic Council of Asia

In 2014, the Olympic Council of Asia organised two major multi-sport games, two Olympic Solidarity regional forums, two youth camps ( swimming and athletics ) and numerous other meetings and activities. The 17 th Asian Games took place in Incheon ( Republic of Korea ) in September, and brought together approximately 14,000 athletes and officials from all the Asian NOCs that participated.

The OCA, in coordination with Olympic Solidarity, conducted two regional forums in May 2014. The NOCs from Central, South and West Asia met in Bahrain from 7 to 9 May, while those from East and South-East Asia gathered in Myanmar on 11 and 12 May. The main topics of discussion during the forums were good governance in the NOCs, the Incheon Asian Games, the Phuket Asian Beach Games and the Nanjing Youth Olympic Games.

EOC The European Olympic Committees

In 2014, the EOC managed the Olympic Solidarity continental programmes with a budget of USD 7,876,000. As always, for reasons of prudence, the EOC did not divide the quadrennial budget into four equal annual parts, but started with a lower amount for the first year and progressively increased it according to need, taking particular account of the fact that the European Youth Olympic Festival ( EYOF ) and the Games of the Small States of Europe ( GSSE ) take place in alternate years. As always, the EOC was keen to maximise direct support to NOCs, and carefully manage their expenditure with the aim of improving their efficiency.

The EOC continues to operate well within the Olympic Solidarity guidelines concerning the percentage of Olympic Solidarity funds to be allocated to administration and meetings. With the relevant figures at 11 % and 5 % respectively, the EOCCOUL. spends 4 almost exactly half the combined maximum of 30% recommendedOK MK by Olympic Solidarity in these areas.

ONOC Oceania National Olympic Committees

ONOC’s new quadrennial budget is substantially higher than in the previous plan, which is why it is important for ONOC to continue to monitor closely and report on the use of Olympic Solidarity funds, both by ONOC on its programmes and activities, and by the NOCs.

The budgetary allocations for 2014 were based on an evaluation of previous quadrennial programmes. Sports education and NOC support remain at the heart of ONOC’s activities.

The 8 th Micronesian Games brought together 10 Micronesian nations, states and territories from 20 to 30 July 2014 in Pohnpei ( Feder- ated States of Micronesia ).
