FOLLOWING the successful delivery of the Papua New Guinea (PNG) Managing Olympic Sport Organisation (MOSO) levels I & II, the PNG MOSO III is expected to begin in March 2023.
This follows on from the OSEP’s Managing in Sport Organisations (MiSO) in Port Moresby which will be completed at the Institute of Business Studies University campus at 6Mile, Port Moresby from November 5-6, 2022.
The final 2 Modules are Marketing & Public Relations and Planning focusing on building up the administrative capacities of the 40 National Federations (NF) affiliated under the PNG Olympic Committee.
These courses are aimed at upskilling current NF executives to encourage them to pursue succession plans and mentoring pathways for their sport’s retiring elite athletes and dedicated volunteers. It targets sport executives and volunteers that are actively involved in working with clubs or federations.
Attendance will only be for any National Federation that meets course criteria to endorse three (3) candidates.
Following current best practice globally, each NF Team of candidates will be required to take back the learning and implement it immediately in their individual NF in between the different Modules. The PNG MOSO III has 6 modules which will be delivered through a schedule of weekends. These will be delivered by certified and recognized facilitators with the inclusion of past PNG MOSO graduates that will be required to tutor participants.
PNGOC General Secretary Auvita Rapilla said that the PNG National Olympic Committee (NOC) was the only Oceania member country that was active in the delivery of this courses.
She said the course is a Sports Management Diploma Program of the International Olympic Committee.
“It is a great motivator for us and therefore we are looking to run a successful PNG MOSO III next year with a good number of participants. We invite National Federations to nominate three (3) members of their Executive and ensure gender balance in their nominations,” Rapilla said.
Moreover, with the 3-member Team from nominating NFs, we hope to see results transform the administration and operations of participating NFs through this training program.
Nominations are now open and will close on the 30th November, 2022. More information is available on the PNGOC website.
