THE SADC – REGIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE
DEVELOPMENT MASTER PLAN (RIDMP)
The Southern
African Development Community (SADC) Infrastructure Vision 2027 was conceived
in Lusaka, Zambia at the Summit in 2007 with the objective of establishing a
strategic framework to guide the development of seamless and cost-effective trans-boundary infrastructure. The SADC
Infrastructure Vision 2027 is anchored
on six pillars consisting of Energy, Transport, Information and Communications
Technologies (ICT), Meteorology, Trans-Boundary Water Resources and Tourism
(trans-frontier conservation areas), which constitutes the SADC Regional Infrastructure Development
Programme. The six infrastructure pillars are established on a solid foundation
of harmonised policies and regulations capped by a joint pool of human resource
capacity development and concerted effort to engender public awareness and
commitment to these goals. The
competitiveness of SADC will to a larger extent, depend on joint action and
joint pooling of available resources to achieve comprehensive development of
infrastructure as envisioned by “SADC Infrastructure Vision The RIDMP defines SADC’s
infrastructure development strategy and constitute basis for prioritization of
projects, as well as the modus operandi
for implementation. The Strategic Framework forecasts both requirements and
implementation roadmap over a duration of fifteen (15) with a span of five
(5) years. The three phases of implementation of the PLAN will be as follows;
Short-term 2013-2017, Medium-term 2017-2022 and long-term 2022-2027. Within
the context of the above, the “RIDMP” constitutes the approved SADC Regional
Infrastructure Development Programme and shall guide the process of selection
and implementation of regional infrastructure projects at the level of
feasibility assessments, preparation for bankability and investment. It also constitutes the basis for SADC
Member States commitment to a common infrastructure development programme, in
the form of a Declaration, as well as the basis for review of its
implementation. The SADC Regional infrastructure programme ranges from
simple projects that involve two Member States to complex ones that involves
several or all Member States. In keeping
with overall regional objectives, the development of such
infrastructure would be targeted towards the achievement of strategic
objectives of poverty alleviation and regional integration. |
