This report gives an account of the activities undertaken by the Secretariat during the period August 2010 – July 2011. During the period, the Secretariat continued to implement activities based on the Southern African Development Community (SADC) regional integration agenda as well as on decisions of the Council and Summit often taken during their meetings which are also aligned to the broad objectives of SADC as contained in the Regional Indicative Strategic Development Plan. In the areas of peace and security, in general SADC continues to enjoy the necessary stability conducive for regional integration and development. Mediation efforts have also continued in support of the few Member States affected by internal political challenges notably Madagascar and Zimbabwe.
