The SADC Industrialization Strategy and Roadmap 2015 - 2063 is the first of
its kind. It has a long term perspective, and is aligned to national, regional,
continental and international dimensions.The Strategy recognizes that for trade
liberalization to contribute to sustainable and equitable develop¬ment, and thus
to poverty reduction, it must be complimented by the requisite capacities to
produce, and to trade effectively and efficiently.
The primary orientation of the Strategy is the importance of technological
and economic transformation of the SADC region through industrialization,
modernization, skills development, science and technology, financial
strengthening and deeper regional integration. The Strategy is anchored on three
pillars namely; industrialization as champion of economic and technological
transformation; competi¬tiveness as an active process to move from comparative
advantage to competitive advantage; and regional integration and geography as
the context for industrial development and economic prosperity.
