Countries covered

SRO-Harare covers nine countries in the Southern Africa sub-region namely Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

These countries are not only linked geographically, they also have close historical, cultural, political and economic ties. A demonstration of this interdependence is the creation of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) which aims at the integration of national economies and has become an important institution in shaping the future of the sub-region. Africa’s acid test will be measured by how best she is able to implement the New Partnership for African Development Action Plan as well as achieve the objectives of the newly established African Union.
