Abstract The objective of the SADC framework for sustainable biofuel production is to provide a set of basic guidelines for the development of sustainable biofuel strategies. These regional guidelines can in turn be adapted to meet SADC Member State requirements, e.g. recognising different legislative regimes, national development priorities, land tenure issues, and specific local conditions affecting biofuels crop selection. A final goal would be for Member States to implement sustainable policies in line with the SADC framework for sustainability and mainstream these sustainable policies in biofuel relevant strategy documents (i.e. biofuel policy, poverty reduction strategy, green revolution strategy, food security strategy, budget planning, etc).
