Launched at the start of the 2001–2004 quadrennial plan, the 21 world programmes,<br />
divided into four specific areas – athletes, coaches, NOC management and special<br />
fields – proved popular with the NOCs. The programmes were widely used by the NOCs,<br />
particularly those aimed at preparing athletes to compete in the Olympic Games and/or<br />
continental competitions. These key programmes are the basic ingredients that help NOCs<br />
to function well and achieve their primary objective: to qualify athletes for the Olympic<br />
Games.<br />
In the areas covered by the other programmes, the NOCs grasped perfectly the value and<br />
importance of training coaches, the growing need to improve NOC management and the<br />
need to promote the values and ideals of the Olympic Movement. Managed from the Olympic<br />
Solidarity headquarters in Lausanne, the world programmes produced excellent results and<br />
showed that they had enormous potential. However, it appears that they need to be<br />
improved further so that they can be fully exploited in the next quadrennial plan and<br />
effectively meet the specific needs of each NOC.
