Costed Action Plan for SADC Industrialization Strategy and Roadmap
well as with other bodies of the industrialization governance. A first building block in this
respect is the mapping out of current areas of competences and capabilities at the
regional level.
8.2
Governance Architecture
To be effective, the governance architecture of the SADC Industrialization Strategy
should embody a number of critical organizational and management attributes, most
importantly the following:
(1) Unifying doctrine
(i) Strong unity of purpose focusing on the speedy attainment of the strategic
goals of the Industrialization Strategy: This will build confidence in the
process and its outcomes.
(ii) Systemic coherence and synchronous design of structures and processes:
This includes clear delineation of functions and responsibilities of the principal
organs and players. Organizational set-ups must be efficient, effective,
flexible, agile, innovative, responsive and closely aligned. The set-ups should
clearly delineate vertical (structural) differentiation of the constituent organs,
as well as their horizontal (process) interactions. The system should be
functionally efficient, facilitate seamless coordination, and be amenable to
continuous adaptation.
(2) Functional clarity
(i) Clarity of mandates, roles and division of authority and responsibility between
the constituent organs and players.
(ii) Clarity of rules of engagement of how the organs relate to each other.
(iii) Clarity of modalities of interaction among the various organs, and dialogue
and communication culture.
(3) Organizational culture
(i) Dialogue within and without the structure: The governance architecture
should be cemented by adopting a positive dispensation for constructive
engagement and dialogue between the players.
The institutional architecture, postulated by Figure 8.1 below, shall consist of the
following official and representational bodies:
(1) Summit: It is the ultimate decision-maker on industrialization policies. Article 9 of
the SADC Treaty established the overarching authority of the Summit of the
Heads of State and Governments of SADC. The Summit may be convened at
least biennially to discuss industrialization and economic integration matters. The
Summit could meet twice in accordance with Article 10(5) of the Treaty.
