'regulating process' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'concept about country in south africa' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'about' could be 'on' (as in a book 'on' a certain topic) and 'on' is present in the answer.
'country' could be 'mali' (Mali is an example) and 'mali' is located in the answer.
'south' could be 's' (abbreviation) and 's' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
