Olympic Solidarity is a division of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) that assists National Olympic Committees, such as the Eswatini Olympic and Commonwealth Games Association, for athlete development programmes, in particular those with the greatest need for it.  This assistance is achieved through multi-faceted programmes prioritising athlete development but also training of coaches and sports administrators and promoting the Olympic Values.

Funding for the Olympic Solidarity Programmes is derived from National Olympic Committees’ share of the television rights for the broadcast of the Summer and Winter Olympic Games. This is Olympic Solidarity’s only income.
