The WRF launched its Development Programme in June 2018. The plan is to increase the popularity of rafting generally, the number of the affiliated National Federations to the WRF and to facilitate the participation of WRF Members to WRF Events.
The Development Programme focuses mainly on progressing the standard of the athletes and coaches. Developing and financially weak National Federations are also supported with participation in main events and training camps alongside supporting equipment supplementation.
