The structural pressures shaping the Horn of Africa and the Great Lakes region, demographic change, climate stress, technological disruption, shifting geopolitical alignments, and the erosion of traditional multilateral frameworks, are intensifying. The Horn Futures Program is dedicated to strategic foresight and anticipatory policy thinking, through research and policy dialogue on the emerging political, security, economic, and environmental trends shaping the future of the region. It works to equip policymakers, researchers, and emerging leaders with the analytical tools and intellectual frameworks required for scenario-based thinking, horizon-scanning, and forward-looking strategy development.
