The organisation of the 2012 Paralympic Games will be structurally integrated into one body serving both the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Accordingly, the Moscow OCOG will be one and only steering committee for both Games. The committee will have a single Board of Directors with one Director responsible for the organisation and staging of the Paralympic Games.

The Moscow OCOG’s structure will include senior management and a special Paralympic department. The latter will be staffed with fully qualified specialists experienced in staging competitions for Paralympians. Disabled athletes will also make part of the staff.

In course of organisation and staging of the Paralympic Games the Moscow OCOG will follow all instructions of the IOC and IPC.
