SADRN contributed to some of regional integration efforts through a particular initiative by coordinating industrial policy workshop in South Africa on September�� 9 - 10, 2008. The initiative was closely linked to some of SADC's regional goals encompassed in the Regional Indicative Strategic Development Programme and the broader vision of a "common future"�� as well as�� the on-going development of regional industrial policy framework by the SADC Secretariat. The workshop provided the first steps to facilitate research, discussions and debates between the research community, policy makers and other relevant stakeholders in the area of industrial policy in the SADC region. The workshop engaged a number of policy makers and researchers across a range of SADC countries and was facilitated by Prof. Carlo Pietrobelli.
