SHS/SOP/ATD/23/026 9 March 2023 Sir/Madam, As we are entering the year of the ninth session of the Conference of Parties to the International Convention against Doping in Sport (COP9, UNESCO Headquarters, 25-26 October 2023), there are key and strategic aspects still required to meet the expectations set by the Convention and the commitments made by States Parties during COP sessions. States Parties have constantly acknowledged that financial support is essential for the implementation of the Convention. In this respect, I thank all States Parties that have contributed to the Fund for the Elimination of Doping in Sport in 2022. Key achievements in terms of capacity- building towards increased ownership and accountability of public authorities will be shared during COP9. However, the targets consensually set by COP – 3.5 million USD for 2022-2023 – are yet to be achieved to ensure that ‘No State Party is left behind’. This funding gap represents an obstacle for the Convention to deliver on the expectations of States Parties, jeopardizing the Fund’s capacity to provide the necessary support for governments to fulfil their obligations. As such, efforts need to be strengthened to reach the goals and serve the cause of the Convention. I therefore invite all States Parties to actively take part in the delivery of set objectives by investing in the Fund a minimum 1% of their annual contribution to UNESCO’s ordinary budget, as encapsulated in Resolutions 6CP/10, 7CP/10 and 8CP/14. The capacity to fully implement the decisions of COP8 and to deliver on the Convention’s mandate in a sustainable, impact-oriented and efficient manner, is sorely dependant on your support to the Fund. …/… 7, Place de Fontenoy 75352 Paris 07 SP, France unesco.org  -2- The amounts corresponding to the minimum 1% for each State Party for 2023 are enclosed, alongside the standard letter for contributions to the Special Account and the Fund’s Financial Regulations. The Secretariat of the Anti-Doping Convention ([email protected]) stands ready to provide any further information to facilitate the process. We look forward to enhancing our capacity to support you in the implementation of the Convention so that, collectively, we could protect the global ecosystem of sport values, ethics and integrity. Please accept, Sir/Madam, the assurances of my highest consideration. Yours sincerely, Gabriela Ramos Assistant Director-General Encs.: COP8 Resolutions Table indicating corresponding 1% amounts for 2023 Financial Regulations of the Fund Model letter for contributions to the Fund Cc: Permanent Delegations of States Parties to the International Convention against Doping in Sport National Commissions of States Parties to the International Convention against Doping in Sport National Focal Points of States Parties to the International Convention against Doping in Sport 8CP Conference of Parties to the International Convention against Doping in Sport Eighth session Paris, UNESCO Headquarters 26-28 October 2021 ICDS/8CP/Doc.19 RESOLUTIONS  ICDS/8CP/Doc.19 – page 2 RESOLUTION 8CP/1 – Document ICDS/7CP/Doc.20 The Conference of Parties, 1.
