The IPC Vision

"To enable Paralympic athletes to achieve sporting excellence and inspire and excite the world."

Each word in the vision represents a clear idea in defining the ultimate aim of the IPC:

• To enable: this is the primary role of the IPC as an organisation – to create the conditions for athlete empowerment through self-determination

• Paralympic athletes: the primary focus of the IPC’s activities, in the context of Paralympic athletes, is the development of all athletes from initiation to elite level
