Economic Integration in Southern Africa: Towards Cost and Benefit Analysis in Tanzania
Wangwe, Samuel /

The African Development Bank (ADB) has undertaken a study on Economic Integration of Southern Africa which lays out the case for integration, analyses the broad country characteristics by sector including the complementary and cross-boarder linkages, as well as the institutional framework for integration. It then proposes a strategy for economic integration of Southern Africa. The publication of the three volumes of the ADB study constituted phase one of the project while phase two involves the holding of national seminars in core countries. In this second phase the ADB study is being presented to audiences in the sub region during national seminars organized for the purpose of discussing it intensively and extensively. These national seminars are expected to enhance the process of internalization of the contents of the ADB study. This paper is a contribution to this second phase. This was a desk work and most of the substantial data and information were obtained from different sources.
