Developing Angola's infrastructure: What is SADC's role?

Abstract

Infrastructure has remained a main focus for SADC in its efforts to advance regional cooperation in Southern Africa. Development of Angola’s infrastructure is also a key priority for the Angolan government in the reconstruction and rebuilding of the country. Angola is a member of SADC, but what are the links between national and regional approaches to infrastructure development? The paper takes stock of this, summarises main polices and efforts to promote infrastructure, identifies key projects involving Angola and highlight future challenges. The focus of the paper is on energy, transport and water.
