Strategic Priorities

iNADO is the international member body of National Anti-Doping Organisations (NADOs) and Regional Anti-Doping Organisations (RADOs).

Through carefully listening to the different voices and perspectives of our members and the wider world in which we operate, iNADO has identified three strategic priorities and nine strategic activities to guide our work over the next five years and beyond.

We believe that we can fulfil our purpose of Working Together Towards Excellence by

Our Purpose

iNADO is thousands of experts working together, so that every NADO/RADO globally moves towards excellence in supporting athletes for clean sport.

Working Together Towards Excellence

Three blocks that display iNADO beliefs. One, "each person can contribute and be enriched by the contributions of others." Two, "excellence is always a work in progress and every NADO and RADO can improve." Three, "our mission is global end includes not-yet members."

Our spirit

We believe that how we show up has a massive impact on what we can achieve. Working Together Towards Excellence demands that we show up with:

Three blocks displaying aspects of iNADO's spirit. One reads "Togetherness: We listen, contribute, and have real empathy." Another reads "Agility: We experiment and adapt - learning as we go." The third reads "Credibility: We root ourselves in expertise and make decisions with data."

Justice: Objective investigations, due process, transparency, and proportionality.

Education: Maximizing deterrence, targeted programs, and athlete engagement.

Good Governance: Transparency, inclusion, avoidance of conflicts of interest.

Quality of Delivery and Innovation: All actors in anti-doping must ensure excellence, responsibility, and transparency by implementing the highest standards of quality and innovation.

Separation of Powers: Establishment of a system of internal check and balances in anti-doping.

Our three strategic priorities & nine strategic activities

We are committed to Working Together Towards Excellence based on three strategic priorities and nine strategic activities:

A cicle around the phrase "working together towards excellence divided into three parts. Each part refers to one of iNADO's three strategic priorities: building a supportive community, speaking up for NADO/RADOs globally, and improving practice everywhere.

Our new way of working

Our new way of working brings together Technical Leads, Hot Topics, and Regional Groups.

Technical Leads – To bring recommendations to the anti-doping community will rely on Technical Leads from our members and non-members. We want them to take the lead to analyze issues, summarize conversations and to propose solutions.

Hot Topics – We will carefully look for and work around Hot Topics. These are the issues, challenges or questions that resonate with most for our members, and which benefit the most from collective effort. The Hot Topics derive from the input of our members, from surveys or conversations. They are clearly identified and communicated with our members. They drive our agenda for a period of time, but it does not mean that we will not address emerging issues.

Regional Groups – We understand some of the conversation we want to have with our members have a regional character, they are not relevant everywhere. Within iNADO there will be room to take discussions to a sub-level. A Regional Group could be called to discuss and resolve a Hot Topic together with members of similar cultural or structural characteristics, the definition is not limited to the same geographical region.
