The SouthernAfricanDevelopment Community (SADC) is a regional organization comprised of 14 southernAfrican countries.
It evolved from the SouthernAfricanDevelopmentCoordinationConference (SADCC) which was established in 1980 to mobilize resources for national, interstate, and regional development so that "front line" countries might reduce their dependence on South Africa.
SADCC became SADC in 1992 when the organizations role shifted from confronting South Africa to creating a regional common market.
