On 30 November 1999 the Programme for Development Research (PRODDER) 
at the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) will publish the latest 
edition of its bi-annual development directory, which focuses on 
Southern African development organisations.

The objective of this publication is to support the Southern African 
reconstruction and regional development process with a comprehensive 
overview of the activities of all the region's development roleplay-
ers.

The PRODDER Directory is the most comprehensive development publica-
tion of its kind on any geographical region in Africa and has become 
a much sought-after reference tool on the Southern African develop-
ment situation.

The new PRODDER Directory is divided into four main parts.

The first part, which is the background to the directory information, 
consists of foreword contributions by David Barnard, Coordinator of 
the Programme for Development Research (PRODDER) at the Human Sci-
ences Research Council (HSRC), Chief Emeka Anyaoku, Secretary-General 
of The Commonwealth, Dr K Y Amoako, Executive Secretary of the Eco-
nomic Commission for Africa (ECA), Dr Kaire Mbuende, Executive Secre-
tary of the Southern African Development Community (SADC), Erastus 
Mwencha, Secretary-General of the Common Market for Eastern and 
Southern Africa (COMESA) and Safoora Sadek, former Executive Director 
of the South African National NGO Coalition (SANGOCO).

The second part consists of 14 chapters, listing more than 5600 de-
velopment-related organisations in the 14 member countries of the 
Southern African Development Community (SADC), namely Angola, Bot-
swana, Congo, Lesotho, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Sey-
chelles, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Organisations covered by the publication include government depart-
ments, parastatals, research institutions, NGOs, bilateral and inter-
governmental agencies, United Nations agencies and diplomatic mis-
sions, which operate in Southern Africa.

Information covered on each organisation include name and acronym of 
organisation, postal address, street address, tel/fax/e-mail/WWW, 
contact person, status of organisation and sectoral keywords.

The third part consists of a chapter which highlights the headquarter 
contact detail of international organisations which operate in South-
ern Africa.

The fourth part consists of eight chapters which focus on regional, 
continental and international organisations involved in the Southern 
African development process, namely the Southern African Development 
Community (SADC), Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa 
(COMESA), Organisation of African Unity (OAU), African Development 
Bank (ADB), Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), United Nations De-
velopment Programme, International Bank for Reconstruction and Devel-
opment (IBRD)/World Bank and CIVICUS: World Alliance for Citizen Par-
ticipation.

Given the growing number of organisations covered by the PRODDER Di-
rectory, and as the Southern African edition of this publication is 
only published on a bi-annual basis, the contents of this publication 
will also be available on the Internet:
http://www.hsrc.ac.za/prodder.html

In addition to all the information published on each organisation in 
the PRODDER Directory, the Internet version also includes additional 
categories of information, including mission statement, activities 
and regional offices.

The introduction of the Internet version has been necessitated by the 
potential of the Internet to present users with updated information 
on an ongoing basis. It is in line with PRODDER's objective to pro-
vide its users with various options to access PRODDER's development 
information products and services.
