The programme is an intervention that addresses the provision of adequate and necessary investment for the realization of optimum performances by Zimbabwean athletes and teams. The programme encompasses selecting, preparing and fielding Team Zimbabwe in multi-sport platforms such as the Confederation of Schools Sports Associations of Southern Africa (COSSASA Games), the African Union Sports Council (AUSC) Region 5 Youth Games, the Confederation of Universities and Colleges in Southern Africa (CUCSA) Games, the African Youth Games, the African Games, the Youth Olympic Games, the Olympic and Paralympic Games as well as in single sport championships at regional, continental and international levels. Through the Podium Performance Programme (PPP), an initiative of the AUSC Region 5, Zimbabwe implements a developmental initiative in which the performance capacities of athletes and coaches in the excellence and elite tiers are honed towards higher standards that are linked to podium performances in the aforementioned platforms. The SRC collaborates with the Zimbabwe Olympic Committee, Zimbabwe National Paralympic Committee, National Associations and other delivery agents in coordinating high performance activities.
