Given the success of MEMOS and its impact on the management of sports organisations, particularly NOCs and federations, Olympic LINKS Solidarity has prepared a video on the programme on the recommen- dation of its commission. The video highlights the main features of MEMOS and includes interviews with graduates, who talk about their experiences and the impact the training has had on their professional practice. Several lecturers also share their views on the aims and the strengths of the course. ll rights reserved ll rights reserved A A © © MEMOS XIX in English / MEMOS VI in Spanish Ex NOC on bestpracticeorganisedbythe work withathletes. work withexpertstoapplytheconceptmoresystematically intheir that thisdisciplineisstillrelativelylittle-knowninmany of experience ofother T T view ofthemajorfeaturessportslaw,andintroducethemto tries, theseminarprovidedanopportunitytogiveparticipantsover- O exchanges. tion between T 2016 Budget experience between Objective concepts ofarbitrationandothermethodsconflictresolution. 2 OL 016 he erm his ne highlightof2016wasasportslawseminarorganisedbythe YMPIC SOLIDARIT U c ganda forparticipantsfrom C ANNUALREPORT O aribbean 32 A h lympic thlete an

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. TOKhe NOC MKs can thus improve their EOC operational efficiency by selecting activities that take into account the ( The European Olympic Committees ) current local context and the reality on the ground.

ANOCA Association of National Olympic Committees of Africa

2016 was an extremely beneficial year for African sport. At the Olympic Games in Rio, Africa won 45 medals – more than ever before. These exceptional performances by African athletes were made possible thanks to the support of the NOCs, and through the Olympic Solidarity scholarship programme that gave many athletes the opportunity to prepare under the best possible conditions. Africa’s dominance of the athletics events was confirmed by two new world records, set by Almaz Ayana of Ethiopia in the women’s 10,000 m, and Wayde van Niekerk of South Africa in the men’s 400 m.

In addition to the athletes’ preparation scholarships awarded by Olympic Solidarity, ANOCA released an exceptional funding package of USD 607,963 for the benefit of African athletes with the potential to win medals at the Olympic Games Rio 2016. This budget was left over from the most recent African GamesCOUL. in Brazzaville 4 ( Congo ). A total of 101 athletes benefited from this financialOK MK support, 21 of whom won medals. ANOCA therefore intends to make this a regular contribution, with a view to further improving the performance of ACfrican 38 athletes at C 90 C 82 C 80 C 50 C 0 the next Olympic Games in Tokyo in 2020.

PASO Pan-American Sports Organisation

In 2016, PASO continued implementing the Pan-American Solidarity Programmes approved for the 2013 – 2016 quadrennial. These programmes were discussed by the Executive Committee at its meeting in Miami ( United States ) in December 2012, in accordance with the decision to distribute the budget allocated by the Olympic Solidarity Commission towards the development of continental programmes among PASO’s 41 member NOCs.

As the Olympic Solidarity Commission was aware, given the proximity of the Olympic Games Rio 2016, PASO decided to conclude the Conti- nental High-Level Technical Courses for Coaches Programme and the Continental Scholarships (approved as part of the Pan-American Solidarity Programme) in 2015, in order to be able to focus assistance on the Special Programme for the Preparation of Athletes.

EOC The European Olympic Committees

In 2016, the EOC managed the Olympic Solidarity continental programmes with a budget of USD 7,693,000, which is the last instalment of Olympic Solidarity funds for the 2013-2016 quadrennial. In general, the EOC’s policy is to maximise direct support to NOCs and to help them manage their expenditure, with the aim of improving their efficiency. In 2016, 75 % of revenue was redirected to NOCs, mainly through the NOC Activities Programme.

The EOC is well within the Olympic Solidarity guideline ceiling for administrative expenditure and meetings, 2016 being no exception. With 12 % of the total budget earmarked for administration and 6 % for institutional meetings ( General Assembly and seminar ), i.e. 18 % total, the EOC is far under the combined maximum of 30% recommended by Olympic Solidarity. The minimum annual lump sum requirement of USD 85,000 paid to each NOC for theirCOUL. respective 4 activity programmes was also met.

The EOC has nine commissions : Athletes, Olympic Games, Marketing and Communications, EYOF, European Union ( EU ), Environment and Sport for All, Olympic Culture and Legacy, Medical and Anti-Doping and Gender Equality in Sport. In 2016, all the commissions worked hard and in accordance with the aims of the EOC, holding their annual meetings and further pursuing their activities with the help of modern communications technology. Throughout 2016, the EOC / EU office in Brussels ( Belgium ), which is partly financed by the EOC, performed the important task of monitoring EU activities and keeping the EOC and its members duly informed about EU policy and decisions that impact European sport. In terms of communications, the EOC continues to make maximum use of the internet, publishing daily news items and its monthly newsletter on its website and via Twitter, YouTube and Facebook.

ONOC Oceania National Olympic Committees

The agreed budgetary allocations for the 2013 – 2016 plan were based on an evaluation of the previous plan’s programmes. In general, ONOC has maintained the thrust of its work in sports education and support for its member NOCs, and annual budgets are revised on the basis of developments in the region. The main amendment this quadrennial period has been an increase in ONOC’s administration budget to reflect the actual cost of managing the ONOC secretariat and implementing a range of programmes for its 17 member NOCs.

The 2016 highlight for the region was the gold medal won by the Fiji men’s rugby sevens team at the Olympic Games in Rio, which was the first medal won by Fiji in its 61 years as an NOC. It was also the second ever medal won by a Pacific Island team, after Tonga’s silver medal in boxing at the Olympic Games Atlanta 1996. Later in the year, ONOC was alerted to the fact that COUL.Samoa’s 4 female weightlifter, Ele Opeloge, who placed 4 th in the OlympicOK MK Games Beijing 2008, had been promoted to the silver medal position, following doping violations by the competitors who placed above her.

This new approach takes into consideration a number of factors, including the level of funding received by each Oceania federation from its own IF, the current level of membership in the region, and involvement in the Oceania Sports Education Programme. In 2016, funding was provided to the Oceanian federations of athletics, badminton, basketball, hockey, rugby, table tennis, tennis and weightlifting. The budget was also used to reimburse Olympic Solidarity technical course experts’ airfares and accommodation.

As in previous years, in 2016 ANOC organised several meetings of the ANOC Executive Council and ANOC Commissions and participated in the main events of the continental associations and NOCs. It has also continued to maintain very strong relationships with other organisations, including the IFs, UNESCO, WADA, the continental associations, OCOGs and, of course, the IOC.
