NOC ZAMBIA ADOPTS NEW CONSTITUTION

The National Olympic Committee of Zambia has adopted a new Constitution after a vigorous consultative process that began in 2020 with local and international stakeholders.

The amended constitution was adopted during the Extra Ordinary General Meeting held last Saturday, 3rd September 2022 in Lusaka.

Speaking during the EGM, the NOC President Alfred Foloko appealed to the delegates present to share realistic, truthful, and futuristic contributions on which it can benchmark the Olympic Committee’s operations for future sports leaders.

“In all matters, please let’s be mindful of good governance which must be the cornerstone of our operations,” He added.

This constitution was unanimously adopted, and it comes into effect immediately.

The NOC President commended the NOC Legal and Ethics Commission for leading the constitution review and amendment process in collaboration with the secretariat and thanked the Commission Chairperson Dickson Jere and his team for their part in this process.

The members of the NOC Executive Board in addition to 29 delegates from 17 affiliated National Federations and Associations were present at the EGM.
