Costed Action Plan for SADC Industrialization Strategy and Roadmap
(x)
Clear delineation of the requisite development responsibilities between the
national and regional domains of action for fast catching up.
(xi) The necessity of establishing a strong enabling environment for the private and
public sectors.
Business decisions, especially for regional value chain
development and linking with global value chains critically depend on the quality
of and, indeed, perceptions about the conduciveness of that environment. The
key enablers would need to be put in place.
(xii) Sequencing of interventions is governed by technical, geographical and the
necessity of levelling the development field for national and regional industrial
development factors that imply a high measure of objectivity and qualified
discretion. The programmes that require immediate attention are those that:
– Have cross-cutting impact across the economy but with special bearing on
industrialization
– Have the biggest potential to generate “multiplier effects”
– Are pre-conditions for other interventions
– Are by themselves new initiatives or geared towards impacting existing ones
– Indicate commitment to collective industrialization
(xiii) The imperative that costing of the Action Plan should pay due cognisance to the
long-term nature of the interventions of the Strategy.
(xiv) The recognition of member country heterogeneity – size, stage of development
and technological and transformation readiness. There should be built-in
adaptability/flexibility mechanisms to ensure that the industrial development
process is fully inclusive and that programmes and projects may not start at the
same time in all the countries.
(xv) The vital importance of both a stable macroeconomic environment and strong
microeconomic foundation for the development and growth of the private
enterprises.
(xvi) The necessity of establishing a coherent and effective industrial development
governance structure to accelerate the implementation of the Strategy.
(xvii) The viability of the Action Plan will primarily hinge on its coherence and technical
and financial feasibility as well as on the individual and collective political will of
Member States to its implementation and succeeding related sovereignty.
