Definition

  • The Southern African Development Community (SADC) is the successor to the Southern African Development Coordination Conference (SADCC). It is necessary to have a brief understanding of the SADCC in order to introduce the SADC. The SADCC was created in 1980 as a result of an agreement among Angola, Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, which had undergone a process of regionalization for over a century.
