Abstract:When it was established in 1980, the SADCC (Southern African Development Coordination Conference) had as objectives, amongst others, the reduction of economic dependence especially on South Africa, and the forging of links to create a genuine and equitable regional integration. How far have these objectives been achieved and what are the prospects for further growth? This paper focuses on answering this question. After an examination of the problems of transportation and communications, drought, famine and food security facing the SADCC, the author turns to another crucial problem confronting SADCC States: the South African policy of destabilization of the whole Southern African subcontinent. Notwithstanding these obstacles facing the SADCC as a regional organization, substantial gains have been made since 1980 in the areas of transport and communications, and energy. Notes, ref.
