The main innovation of the 2001–2004 quadrennial plan was the Olympic Solidarity<br />
Commission’s decision to transfer responsibility for managing some of the funds<br />
to the continental associations of NOCs and to create programmes that meet the specific<br />
needs of each continent and region, in accordance with the unique model of Olympic<br />
Solidarity, a global organisation with continental branches acting autonomously but in a<br />
fully coordinated way.<br />
As a result of this new decentralisation policy, the continental associations became more<br />
involved in the management of programmes on their territory and there was greater<br />
flexibility of choice for the NOCs. At the beginning of this plan, depending on their structural<br />
capacity, the continental associations signed individual agreements amongst themselves<br />
and with Olympic Solidarity in Lausanne, defining the distribution of management<br />
responsibilities.
