To better the lives of athletes, sportspeople and communities around Oceania, the Oceania National Olympic Committee has signed a four-year partnership with the South Pacific Community.

President of the Oceania National Olympic Committee Dr. Robin Mitchell says Oceania Sports Education Programme was first established in 2007 and with more than a decade of delivering Olympic recognise training courses to 15 Pacific Island countries, they are now taking steps to position sport as the untapped and growing sector in the region.

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.
