As members of these project teams, you are required to manage the uncertainties and the changing operating environment, and deliver a system in time for the introduction of the SADC currency. The changing environment and possible change in schedule requires flexibility in the approach to managing the project. The SADC Payment System Project team has therefore made some adjustments in its approach and strategy.
I believe that the consequences of this changed approach will be the focus for discussions at this workshop. Established regional structures could possibly make a significant impact in the integration process. By simply broadening the base they could make ideal starting points for the SADC integration.
