From 2006 to 2008, the Institute for Global Dialogue (IGD) and the
Africa Institute for South Africa (AISA) participated in the
Helsinki Process on Globalisation and Democracy, aimed at evolving
new solutions to global problems. Their contribution took the form
of exploring the nexus between poverty and development in the
Southern African Development Community (SADC). More specifically,
they have evolved a proposed new policy framework for achieving
sustainable development in the region, among others by achieving
the first Millennium Development Goal of halving the number of
people in the region living in poverty by 2015. In doing so, they
have sought to add an empowered African voice to the debates on
poverty in SADC and Africa; provide an Afro-centric analysis of
issues related to poverty and development; and provide
Africa-generated policy options for addressing poverty on the
continent, and specifically in SADC. The study finds that current
regional initiatives to address poverty will not result in the MDGs
being met by 2015. It calls for a change of paradigm in order to
achieve people-centred development that will strengthen the
political influence of the poor, with the state playing a central
role in shaping social and economic policy, and pursuing an active
developmental agenda. This volume is an important record of current
thinking by African analysts about development on their own
continent. It is hoped that it will enhance the understanding of
poverty and development of policy-makers in the region, and help
them to address the region's massive developmental challenges.
