2 3 Message by Mario VÁZQUEZ RAÑA Chairman of the Olympic Solidarity Commission © IOC/Locatelli The results of the work of Olympic Solidarity during the 2001–2004 quadrennial show major advances in the different areas covered by the World Programmes, and in particular represented a key means of support for the activity of the National Olympic Committees (NOCs), in many cases ensuring their livelihood and, as a result, their autonomy and independence. Olympic Solidarity has continued to develop, all the while creating new initiatives and consolidating its actions with a view to increasing the benefits which the athletes, coaches and NOCs receive as a result. This report, which covers the 2001–2004 period, summarises, with figures that speak for themselves, the advances made during this time, creating the solid basis on which to build the actions for the quadrennial that we have recently begun. For me, one of the most outstanding aspects of the period covered by the report is the successful application of the process to decentralise funding and key decision-making to the Continental Associations, which has enabled attention to be focused as quickly as possible on the problems and needs of each region, as well as strengthening the management of the Continental Associations, thereby making them a key component of the Olympic Solidarity system at international level. In addition to this, there is the creation of nine new World Programmes compared with the 1997–2000 quadrennial; an increase in the funding used to provide annual subsidies to the NOCs; the expanded scope and ongoing fine-tuning of the World Programmes; the implementation, with excellent results, of the Continental Programmes; and, as a result of these efforts, a significant increase in the number of athletes from the 202 NOCs around the world which benefited from direct assistance from Olympic Solidarity.
It is interesting to see, encapsulated in a single document, the results of the selfless hard work over four years by so many people connected with Olympic Solidarity. This has made possible the achievements which stand proudly before us today. To all of you, our deepest thanks, as well as the hope for further and greater successes. Special mention and thanks must go to the Olympic Solidarity team in Lausanne, led by their Director Pere Miró, who, with sensitivity and a great awareness of their responsibility, have efficiently coordinated such a vast, complex and important task. I am certain that the information here will be useful to all those who work for the Olympic Movement.
