The recognition that value chain development and sustainability will depend
on a number of parameters, notably: the nature of value chain positioning
(raw material, low-tech, high-tech, etc), the extent of value addition; upgrading
potential; the willingness of Member States to accept deeper integration; and
necessity of longer-term up-scaling from regional to global levels.
Recognition of the stage of development, size and geographic location of
Member States and the need for inclusive industrialization and development.
The importance of the private sector as wealth creator and policy partner.
Clarity of requisite responsibilities of the various development agents involved
in the development and implementation of the Action Plan.
The necessity of establishing a coherent and effective industrial developmentsupporting environment, for the public as well as for private involvement.
The Action Plan templates (in Part II) detail the key actions, organized with reference
to the three pillars of the Strategy, and the requisite activities as well as the key
enablers needed to unlock industrial potential. Whilst some of these measures and
interventions need to be undertaken immediately, the majority target the medium to
long term.
Built in the Action Plan is the flexibility of implementation of the Strategy, where
beyond collective action on regional projects, national development (a preserve of
the countries) would take into consideration the capacities and constraints they face
individually. Ultimately, the far-reaching changes and the long-term transformations
envisaged in the Strategy (production, distribution, policies, institutions and the
global and regional engagements) would assist Member States to converge into the
unified and developed SADC economy of the future by 2063. By then SADC
countries would be readier to operate and compete at the demanding developed
country standards of high business and economic sophistication and innovation.
The total indicative public coordination cost for the Action Plan over the period 20162020 is estimated at about 102 million US dollars.
