History

1 Apr 1980, Lusaka (Zambia), when the Heads of Government of 9 majority-ruled States in Southern Africa signed the Lusaka Declaration with the title Southern Africa: Toward Economic Liberation, following conference in Jul 1979, Arusha (Tanzania UR). Memorandum of Understanding of the Institutions of the SADCC signed 20 Jul 1981, Salisbury (now Harare). Namibia joined on 1 Apr 1990. Meeting of Council of Ministers, Jan 1992, Maputo (Mozambique), endorsed a plan to transform the Conference into an economic community with common policies in areas such as trade and exchange rates, and with a majority-ruled South Africa as a full member. This new F-XF2522 - Southern African Development Community (SADC), officially set up 17 Aug 1992, replaces SADCC.
