The course was funded through Olympic Solidarity, the organisation which assists National Olympic Committees with athlete development and the training of coaches and officials. 

It is hoped that the training will encourage the coaches to help the development of karate in Zimbabwe.

Karate will make its Olympic debut at Tokyo 2020.
