The SADC HIV/AIDS Task Force in December 1999 adopted the vision of "A SADC With Reduced HIV/AIDS" to guide the work of the seven sectors participating in the development and implementation of a multi-sectoral SADC HIV/AIDS Framework for the period 2000 - 2004. The elaboration of this vision led to development of the overarching goal of "decreasing the number of HIV/AIDS infected and affected individuals and families in the SADC Region so that HIV/AIDS is no longer a threat to public health and to the socio-economic development of Member States". This goal provides guidance to all SADC sectors in the formulation of their responses to the epidemic.

How successful have Southern African states been in dealing with the major issues that have faced the region in recent years? What could be done to produce more cohesive and effective region-building in Southern Africa? In this original and wide-ranging volume, which draws on an interdisciplinary team of mainly African and African-based specialists, the key political, socio-economic, and security challenges facing Southern Africa today are addressed. These include the various issues confronting the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and its institutions; such as HIV/AIDS, migration and xenophobia, land-grabbing and climate change; and the role of the main external actors involved with the region, including the United Nations, the European Union, the United States, and China. The book also looks at the Southern African Customs Union and Southern African Development Finance Institutions, including the Development Bank of Southern Africa and Industrial Development Corporation, and issues of gender and peacebuilding. In doing so, the book goes to the heart of analyzing the effectiveness of SADC and other regional organisation, suggesting how region-building in Southern Africa may be compared with similar attempts elsewhere in Africa and other parts of the world.
