Complementary Information: In June 2022, WADA was awarded a grant by the European Commission for a Pilot Project - Anti-Doping Intelligence and Investigations Capacity and Capability Building in Europe to increase anti-doping intelligence and investigation capacity in Europe, reduce the prevalence of doping in sport and maximize the health benefits for European youth practicing clean sport.
The project involves around 48 countries, 51 anti-doping organizations and 48 law enforcement agencies in Europe.
The multi-phase project runs over two years and aims to:
- Provide online and in-person training to anti-doping organizations staff to help them increase in-house capacity with regards to intelligence and investigations;
- Support collaboration and information sharing between European National Anti-Doping Organizations' (NADOs) I&I teams and law enforcement agencies;
- Demonstrate to decision makers the importance of I&I to prevent doping in sport;
- Raise public awareness of the prevalence and threat of doping in youth amateur sports, not only among elite athletes
The grant agreement was signed on 2 June 2022 and WADA received the first tranche (initial prefinancing) of 1,001,000 EUR on 16 June 2022.
The remaining amount (final payment) will be transferred within 90 days from receiving periodic report.
