The High Performance Programme is an initiative from the International Cricket Council to bridge the gap between Test and non-Test nations. The programme was launched in 2001 with the aim of preparing the top Associate Member teams for the 2003 Cricket World Cup. Following the tournament the programme continued to run, attempting to close the gap between Associate members and Full members. As of April 2007, both Denmark and Namibia are part of the programme. They were joined by Argentina and Ugandain June after the teams made the final of the 2007 ICC World Cricket League Division Three.
