The first Technical Committee (TC) meeting of the #SADC-EU Programme on Enhancing the Capability and Effectiveness of #SADC’s Peace and Security Architecture (ECESPA) was held on 10th of April 2025 in Gaborone, Republic of Botswana to review progress in strengthening the region’s peace and security architecture under the #SADC`s Regional Indicative Strategic Development Plan (RISDP 2020–2030).

The ECESPA Programme which commenced in 2024 and will end in 2028 builds on previous initiatives the Regional Political Cooperation (RPC) Programme (2013-2018) and Support to Peace and Security in the #SADC Region (SPSS) 2018-2024 and focuses on boosting #SADC’s capability to respond swiftly to security threats and enhance collaboration with Non-State Actors (NSAs).

The objectives of the ECESPA Programme are to:

✔️ Enhance the capability and effectiveness of SADC Peace and Security Architecture to enable early response and action; and
✔️ Increase capacity of Non-State Actors (NSAs) to strengthen #SADC’s Peace and Security Architecture.

The Technical Committee (TC) forms part of a robust governance structure of the ECESPA Programme, whose apex body is the Steering Committee (SC). The Technical Committee (TC) is tasked to, among other things:

✅ Review the Programme’s annual work plan, financial and progress reports, and make recommendations to the Steering Committee.
✅ Review progress in the implementation of the project and provide recommendations.
✅ Discuss the implementation of planned activities and make decisions relevant for the joint implementation of the project.
✅ Monitor and discuss risks relevant to the operational implementation and make joint decisions about adequate risk mitigation.
✅ Provide a platform for coordination with stakeholders, including the identification of synergies and complementarities with relevant programmes; and
✅ Ensure follow up and implementation of decisions taken by the Steering Committee.
