Olympic Solidarity

IOCs Olympic Solidarity aim is to organise assistance for all the National Olympic Committees (NOCs), particularly those with the greatest needs, so that they can develop their own structures to favour the expansion of sport in their country.
This assistance is achieved through multi-faceted programmes priorising athlete development, but also training of coaches and sports administrators, and promoting the Olympic values (Olympic charter, rule 5).
Three support areas available through Olympic Solidarity:
WISH Programme
The WISH Programme, funded by Olympic Solidarity (OS), an IOC Department, aims to boost the number of women high-performance coaches at major events such as the World Championships and the Olympic Games
Olympic Scholarships for Athletes
Help elite athletes selected by their respective NOCs to prepare and qualify for the Olympic Games with a particular focus on athletes with the greatest needs.
