Southern African Development Coordination Conference (SADCC)
Africa
The SADCC was formed in 1980. It developed out of the Frontline States, an alliance of countries in Southern Africa formed in 1970, to aid the liberation movements in South Africa and Namibia and to form a front against apartheid. Some of the main goals of the SADCC were to lessen the dependency on apartheid South Africa and to introduce programmes and projects which would influence the Southern African countries and whole region. It was renamed Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) in 1992.
The SADC holds the archives of the organisation.
