Rules of Procedure for IODE Programme Components, Programme Activities and Projects.

Abstract

Since the creation of the first IODE projects in the 1990s the terms of reference of a IODE Project and Steering Group have been defined by a Recommendation submitted by the IODE Committee to the IOC Governing body (in the case of IODE this is usually the Assembly) or a Decision by the IODE Committee (in cases where there were no financial implications to IOC). Taking into account the new designations as proposed/adopted by IODE-XXVII (March 2023) there are now IODE Programme Components, Programme Activities and Projects: • Programme Component (PC): activity with at least core UNESCO/IOC RP funding and staff support that enables the activity to operate on a permanent basis; • Programme Activity (PA): Long-term activity receiving minimal UNESCO/IOC RP funding supplemented by substantial in-kind and/or extra-budgetary support; • Project: Activity that is limited in time and is fully funded from extra-budgetary sources (Each Programme Component or Programme Activity can be further strengthened through “Projects”) The terms of reference of a Programme Component, Programme Activity or Project and its Steering Group can only be modified by the parent body and/or IOC Governing body (in the case of IODE this is usually the Assembly).
