Costed Action Plan for SADC Industrialization Strategy and Roadmap strategic use of a toolbox of policy measures to industrialisation more effectively.  support regional Identify mechanisms to strengthen demand for local and regional products, secure investment in large, strategic catalytic industrial projects that will act as anchor projects around which development can be spurred, and promote the development of regional value chains. Finally, the Action Plan advances, as an imperative, a “developmental integration” approach whereby SADC Member States promote investment, trade, and industrial regionalisation. This entails policy coherence, alignment and certainty which, as a collective, strengthens the productive capacities of companies in the regional economy and achieve regional industrial integration. Sustainable diversification and integration to facilitate effective participation in the higher levels of regional and global value chains will require a functional free trade area (FTA) which facilitates movements of goods and services, capital and business people within the region and promotes economies of scale. The focus, moving forward, should also ensure that private sector investment is leveraged in key economic infrastructure (with strong reciprocal conditions) to unlock major economic activities in the productive sectors of the regional economy. State Owned Enterprises (SOEs) also have a major role to play in supporting infrastructure development and enabling economic infrastructure (energy, rail, road, port, and telecommunications) and crowding in investment. To achieve this, strong support for localisation and for regional supplier development is essential. 22
