The overall objective of this analysis is to demonstrate, based on economic analysis, the costs involved in introducing and institutionalising a SADC-wide Basic Income Grant (SADC BIG) that is wholly or predominately funded through the extractive industries to promote economic justice, reduce poverty and inequality, and stimulate human and economic integration and development in the region.
The analysis aims to identify the size of a BIG grant that would be feasible or acceptable in terms of cost and affordability. Through the different scenarios analysed, we aim to show that the SADC BIG idea is affordable and can, over time, be scaled up.
