The SADC Summit of Head of States has approved the Protocol on Statistics at its ordinary meeting during 17-18 August 2021 in Lilongwe, Malawi. The Protocol is signed by some Head of States present during the session whilst the signature process shall continue over the following months.

The Protocol itself is strictly aligned to continental and global statistical frameworks and once ratified, it shall enter into force as a legal instrument.

This instrument becomes now the primary guiding framework for cooperation with partners and implementation at Member States level in the SADC region.

The signed Protocol is available in English, French, and Portuguese.
