What is Olympic Solidarity?
The aim of Olympic Solidarity is to organise assistance for all the national olympic committees (NOCs), particularly those with the greatest needs, through multi-faceted programmes prioritising athlete development, training of coaches and sports administrators, and promoting the Olympic ideals (Olympic Charter, rule 5).
What type of programmes does Olympic solidarity support?
The World Programmes cover the five areas of sports development that are considered essential for NOCs to accomplish the mission that has been entrusted to them by the Olympic Charter.
21 WORLD PROGRAMMES, 5 AREAS OF ACTION
Olympic Solidarity works closely with the International Federations (IFs) whose sports are on the Olympic programme, the IOC Commissions and several other Olympic Movement partners in order to develop and offer high-quality programmes to all NOCs, particularly those with the greatest needs. For the 2017-2020 plan, the World Programmes are aimed primarily at increasing assistance for athletes and supporting NOCs in efforts to protect clean athletes, reinforcing NOC structure, continuing to support coach and sports administrators education and development, and promoting the Olympic Agenda 2020.

What are tripartite places for the Olympic Games?
Tripartite places are invitation quotas to specific athletes to compete at the Olympic Games in a specific event, who have not otherwise qualified through the regular qualification system. NOCs eligible to apply are those with an average of eight or fewer athletes in individual sports / disciplines at the previous two editions of the summer Olympic Games (London and Rio).
Canoeing had two tripartite quota places available for Tokyo 2020 across canoe sprint and canoe slalom. These were awarded to Amado Cruz from Belieze (men's kayak sprint, Americas continent) and Joaquim Lobo from Mozambique (men's canoe sprint, African continent).
The number and application process for tripartite places for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games will be published with the qualification criteria in 2022.
