Cooperation between SADC and ECA/SRDC-SA

Abstract

The SADC Secretariat prepares an Annual report on major political, economic and social developments in the region. It is our understanding that SRDC-SA also prepares a biennial Report on economic and social conditions in Southern Africa as part of its work programme. Similarly ECA-ESPD will prepare the economic survey of Africa which will draw inputs from sub-regional organizations. Close coordination with SADC will be needed in ensuring consistency of information on Member States. Our Statistics unit could collaborate to ensure consistency of data, etc, In addition, SADC could fully participate in the economic survey of Africa, particularly for Southern Africa.
