ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The Horn of Africa Regional Peace and Security Program advances research and policy engagement on conflict dynamics, regional security trends, and peacebuilding processes across the Horn of Africa and the Great Lakes region. The program analyses drivers of conflict, including interstate rivalries, internal political instability, violent extremism, and transnational security threats, with particular attention to their implications for regional stability
Through policy briefs, expert dialogues, and strategic advisory outputs, the program engages governments, regional organizations, civil society, and international partners to strengthen the evidence base for effective peace and security interventions. Its work is grounded in field-based research and high-level roundtables that convene policymakers, security practitioners, and scholars from across the region.
The goal of the program is to promote context-sensitive and forward-looking approaches to conflict prevention, management, and resolution. It aims to support sustainable peace by enhancing regional cooperation, strengthening security governance, and advancing inclusive peace processes as foundations for long-term stability and development
