How does SADC work with the Private Sector in its quest to achieve regional integration and development?

The private sector is a key player in SADC work. The SADC Business Council has been accepted as the organisation which can coordinate the work of the private sector as they relate with SADC public sector at regional level. At national level, the Treaty provides for each SADC Member States to consult with the private sector in planning and implementation of regional programme through National Committees. The rules of engagement with the private sector at regional level are being finalised.
