"The aim of Olympic Solidarity is to
organise aid to NOCs recognised by the International Olympic
Committee (IOC), in particular those which have the greatest
need of it. This aid takes the form of programmes elaborated
jointly by the IOC and the NOCs, with the technical assistance
of the International Federations (IFs), if necessary."
