Mitchell says it was necessary to take stock of the impact, assessment of the events particularly if they still serve beneficiaries and to identify areas that needed strengthening or re-designed into alternative approaches in content.

He adds they have set up the new OSEP’s strategy for 2021/2024 which is in line with Oceania National Olympic Committee’s strategic plan in cultivating regional and global partnership.
