WADA’s MEAL Program is an initiative that focuses on strengthening the anti-doping programs and resources related to Major Event Organizations (MEOs) and other key stakeholders. Through the MEAL program, WADA helps MEOs to implement a World Anti-Doping Code-compliant anti-doping program at their main sport events, while enhancing local and regional anti-doping program development through a tailored approach and a long-term vision.
The objectives of the MEAL Program include:
- Improving the capacity and capability of National and Regional Anti-Doping Organizations and MEOs;
- Enabling MEOs and event organizers in delivering World Anti-Doping Code-compliant programs;
- Ensuring a strong legacy component is embedded in all activities; and
- Long-term engagement with key stakeholders.
