This strategy for the SADC Secretariat Customs Programme must be seen in the context of the broaderSADC Private Sector Involvement (PSI) Strategy. This broader strategy has three main pillars: (i) strengthen the framework and clarify the mandate of PSI in SADC; (ii) fostering sect oral as well as highlevel public-private dialogue; and (iii) Improve information flow between public and private sector. This PSI Strategy for the Customs Programme is underscoring and operationalizing the emphasis of the broader SADC PSI Strategy on strengthening sect oral dialogue. 10
