ONOC Secretariat Mid-Year Review

The four objectives of the Strategic Plan are drawn from its Mission to become ‘the best-performing Continental Association’ through key pathways transformed into the following objectives: ‘Building and strengthening [member] National Olympic Committee (NOC) capacity; Cultivating regional and global partnerships; Contributing towards sporting excellence, and Leading by example’.

ONOCis currently in its 2018 – 2021 Strategic Plan with the Vision of ‘Inspiring success and pride, and living the Olympic values.

The four objectives of the Strategic Plan are drawn from its Mission to become ‘the best-performing Continental Association’ through key pathways transformed into the following objectives: ‘Building and strengthening [member] National Olympic Committee (NOC) capacity; Cultivating regional and global partnerships; Contributing towards sporting excellence; and Leading by example’.

Under the objective of Building and strengthening NOC capacity, the focus is on the development and promotion of Good Governance through strategic support to members, particularly through national training and development programmes.

Under Cultivating regional and global partnerships, ONOC seeks to be respected and valued by partners through strategic relationship building and clean sports.

Under Contributing to sporting excellence, athletes as primary stakeholders take precedence through ONOC efforts to ensure they are supported and encouraged to succeed on the Road to Tokyo, the next Olympic Games.

In Leading by example, ONOC seeks to demonstrate this through the practice of Good Governance through Operations. This is via board and administration compliance and through support services in administration, finance, human resources, events management and communications.
