The IOC supports the Guyana Olympic Association's (GOA) strategic plan, designed to enhance athlete preparation and institutional modernization through to the Brisbane 2032 Games. The plan, supported by the IOC's Olympic Solidarity program, aims to improve leadership, decision-making, and administrative capabilities. The initiative, which began in late 2024, aligns with the global effort to strengthen smaller NOCs, and was presented at the CANOC General Assembly.

On Safe Sport Day, it's reported that despite IOC efforts, safeguarding remains underdeveloped in many sports organizations. Key initiatives include Maja Peković's work with the Montenegrin Olympic Committee to include safeguarding in federal laws and ANOC representation in the IOC's Safe Sport Core Group. The EOC's SAFE HARBOUR project aims to strengthen Europe's safeguarding response, while Trinidad and Tobago is leveraging the legacy of the 2023 Commonwealth Youth Games to build sustainable safeguarding structures across the Caribbean. These efforts address challenges like limited resources and cultural differences to embed safeguarding into sports culture.

The Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC) and the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) have partnered to include WBSC in the ANOC Digital Content Hub. This collaboration aims to broaden the global reach of baseball and softball, especially with their return to the Olympic program at Los Angeles 2028. The agreement facilitates content sharing between WBSC and over 200 ANOC member NOCs, enhancing unity, exposure, and engagement within the Olympic Movement. WBSC President Riccardo Fraccari and ANOC Secretary General Gunilla Lindberg both expressed optimism about the partnership's potential to strengthen ties and promote digital development, aligning with Olympic values and ensuring access to high-quality content for all NOCs.

The Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC) and the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to enhance digital collaboration through the ANOC Digital Content Hub. The partnership aims to increase the visibility of Baseball, Softball, and Baseball5 across the Olympic Movement, providing National Olympic Committees (NOCs) with curated content. ANOC Secretary General Gunilla Lindberg and WBSC President Riccardo Fraccari highlighted the agreement's role in strengthening ties and expanding the global reach of their respective organizations.

Maja Petkovic was appointed as the Association of National Olympic Committees' (ANOC) representative to the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) Safe Sport Core Group. Petkovic, a certified IOC safeguarding officer since April 2024, will represent the concerns of all 206 NOCs. ANOC is establishing a communication channel between Petkovic and all NOCs, inviting each to designate a Safe Sport point of contact. The IOC Core Group aims to develop strategies to prevent harassment and abuse in sports. The Olympism365 Summit in Lausanne addressed these issues, launching tools to combat violence and enhance athlete safeguarding, including AI-powered cyber-abuse prevention for Milano Cortina 2026 and partnerships with the UN Spotlight Initiative, FIFA, and the Huntsman Mental Health Institute. The IOC also plans feasibility studies for Regional Safe Sport Hubs in Africa and the Pacific and train-the-trainer programs by 2026.
