The Southern African Centre for Defence Information (SACDI) is a joint project of the Centre for Conflict Resolution and the Idasa Budget Information Service. It was established to deepen understanding of, and provide support for, debates surrounding defence and security issues in the sub-continent. To this end, it has established and maintains databases containing military and economic information for all the Southern African Development Community countries. As part of its activities, SACDI commissions in-depth research into the various issues that feed into this debate. This research is published as Working Papers and Briefs.
