SADC has, for the last two years, been engaged in a process of developing a Regional Indicative Strategic Development Plan. It has released a draft, dated March 26, for discussion with stakeholders in each SADC member state. The Department of Water Affairs in South Africa has posted the draft document on its website (www.dwaf.gov.za) as part of its stakeholder consultation process.

However the lengthy document has not been posted in a the most user friendly format: SARPN has therefore decided to give persons across SADC the opportunity to access relevant chapters of the document in an easier format.
