The transport and communications sector in Southern Africa
In: Regional Cooperation Series
Transport and communications is a key sector in the overall strategy of attaining regional integration and economic cooperation among SADCC countries. Projects in this sector should therefore aim at reducing economic dependence of the member states and the enhancement of genuine and equitable regional integration. The issues discussed in this book include, inter alia, the following: an assessment of the donor preferences in the funding of regional projects; the role of the Southern Africa Transport and Communication Commission (SATCC); a discussion of the major SADCC interstate rail lines, air and road transport and port capacities; regional operational coordination and the efficacy of training and manpower development programmes.
