About CRASA Communications Regulators' Association of Southern Africa

The Communication Regulators’ Association of Southern Africa (CRASA) is a forum of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) and Postal regulators in Southern Africa. CRASA is a specialized agency of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and was set up in 1997 within the framework of the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) Protocol on Transport, Communications and Meteorology (1995). The Communications Regulators’ Association of Southern Africa (CRASA) was initially the Telecommunications Regulators’ Association of Southern Africa (TRASA). TRASA focused on harmonisation of telecommunications and broadcasting regulatory frameworks. In response to the Resolution of the SADC Ministers responsible for Telecommunications, Postal and ICTs of June 2009 4.3.2.3, in 2011, CRASA merged with the Southern African Postal Regulators’ Association (SAPRA). SAPRA focused on the harmonisation of regulation of the postal markets in southern Africa. CRASA, therefore, since 2011, focuses on harmonisation of regulatory frameworks for the telecommunication, broadcasting and postal markets. The main objective of CRASA is to bring cooperation and collaboration of the ICT and Postal regulators to harmonise the regulation of the three sectors mentioned above. CRASA provides the model guidelines, recommendations and position papers on various regulatory thematic areas.
