The Management, Ethics and Transparency Programme (MET) is said to have brought several benefits for governing bodies in the South American nation.

These include helping sports maximise the use of resources while increasing transparency for sponsors and the public.

Every sport to sign up to the MET now has an Athletes' Commission while a number of organisations have adopted a Code of Ethics and/or an ombudsman channel.

COB President Paulo Wanderley was in attendance as the scheme was presented, alongside the country's International Olympic Committee member Bernard Rajzman and various sporting representatives.

"The actions implemented by the COB through the MET are bringing more independence and development possibilities to entities that know how to take advantage of this movement," said Wanderley.

"It is essential to recognise the great effort made by the Brazilian Olympic Confederations in recent years. 

"Our goal is to optimise resources, reduce costs and provide athletes with the best possible training and preparation conditions."

COB project manager Paula Neri presented on all parts of the MET with the sports involved receiving a recognition plaque.

"The COB, when it realised that many of the Confederations presented difficulties in common, understood that with an action could help to elevate the organisational maturity in these entities," said Neri. 

"The goal of the MET is precisely to support the development in their management, always thinking about the activity end of the sports system, which is the preparation of the Brazilian athletes for the main competitions of the calendar."
