The core objective of the Strategic Indicative Plan for the Organ on Politics, Defence and Security is to create a peaceful and stable political and security environment through which the region will endeavour to meet its socio-economic objectives.
Based on the objectives and common agenda of SADC, the Plan provides general guidelines that spell out specific activities, in accordance with the objectives of the Protocol on Defence, Politics and Security Cooperation, and the strategies for their realisation and public security. It provides ways forward through appropriate strategies and activities in each specific field.
The Strategic Indicative Plan for the Organ also provides the institutional framework for the day to day implementation of the activities of the Organ, including the Protocol on Politics, Defence and Security Cooperation and the Mutual Defence Pact.
