The SADC Infrastructure Development Status Reports for Council and Summit (2009)
The primary purpose of the SADC Infrastructure Development Status Reports for Council and Summit
(SADC 2009) is to appraise the Council of Ministers and the heads of state and governments of SADC
on the extent and status of implementation of the regional infrastructure projects since the
commencement of the execution of the RISDP in 2005. The Reports also synthesise the challenges
and achievements in implementation of SADC's regional infrastructure projects and propose the way
forward towards the achievement of SADC's goal in the infrastructure cluster (SADC 2009).
2.2.2.12
The SADC Regional Position on the World Commission on Dams and Development
Report
Wide consultations were done on matters related to dams and development, following the
introduction of the WCD Report at the 10th Meeting of the SADC Water Resources Technical
Committee (WRTC) in Mbabane, Swaziland in May 2001. The Report was then presented to the
annual meeting of SADC Ministers of Water in June 2001, in Harare, Zimbabwe. In recognition of the
importance of dams and development to the region, the ministers called on the Member States to
review the WCD Report, assess its usefulness and impact, and establish national positions that would
enrich the overall regional position on the document (SADC 2006).
