IBU launched its next development support project intending to inspire and encourage kids and youths to practice biathlon by giving them sustainable, safe equipment and a socially positive activities toolkit that can be used across the world. With the 'Biathlon for All' program, IBU supports selected NFs with laser rifle equipment (rifles, targets, supporters, mats) to deliver their action plan for kids' and youths' recruitment and training.

The project requires an NFs action plan approved by IBU and the assignment of a Project Coordinator (PC) responsible for project implementation and reporting during the project duration and after it finishes. IBU may contact the PC at any time during the project duration and request interim reports, photos, and videos. In addition, the PC will be invited to a working group that develops the IBU toolkit for National Federations – Kids’ and Youth's introduction to the biathlon education program through its experience exchange.
