The HORN Futures Program is a forward-looking initiative that explores and reimagines the long-term future of the Horn of Africa and the Great Lakes Region. The program seeks to shift regional thinking beyond conflict management toward envisioning a peaceful, integrated, resilient, and economically prosperous Horn of Africa that fully harnesses its people, resources, and strategic potential.
Through strategic foresight research, policy dialogues, regional convenings, and leadership development initiatives, HORN Futures brings together policymakers, researchers, youth leaders, and practitioners to examine emerging trends and design pathways toward sustainable peace, regional cooperation, and inclusive growth. By fostering innovative thinking and preparing a new generation of HORN Future Leaders, the program contributes to shaping a region defined not by instability, but by collaboration, opportunity, and shared prosperity.
