FIS Development Programme
The FIS Aid & Promotion Programme for Developing Ski Nations was established following the decision by the 1996 FIS Congress in Christchurch (NZE) that the election of FIS World Championships Organisers would be delegated to the FIS Council and that each Candidate would pay a registration fee that would be used for the development of skiing. The Aid & Promotion programme then got under way in 1997/98, funded by the World Championship Candidates fees.
15 years later, at its Meetings during the FIS Congress 2012 in Kangwonland (KOR), the Council decided to connect the Aid & Promotion Programme with FIS Solidarity Support and re-named it to FIS Development Programme (FDP).
Through the FIS Development Programme, a total of around 41 FIS member National Ski and Snowboard Associations receive support for the development of skiing and snowboarding in their regions and countries from the funds generated through the registration fees paid by Candidates for the FIS World Championships and the contribution from the FIS Special Distribution. Besides modest direct financial support to the FIS Development Programme Member Associations, the programme offers a wide range of different projects and activities.
