This is the HORN Institute’s 2021 Annual Report and it contains a summary of key
activities and events in 2021 as well as the impact, publications, partnerships, media and
communication outreach, and prospects for 2022
In 2021, the Horn of Africa region was characterized by internal political strife, intra-regional tensions, a civil war, political instability, humanitarian crises, insecurity posed by terrorists, COVID-19 pandemic, and longstanding political and security related challenges. The Institute remained attuned to these dynamics, and in response, it held a series of roundtables to provide a platform in which critical regional challenges were discussed and solutions explored.
These discussions focused largely on political and security trends in Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia, Sudan, South Sudan, Eritrea, and Djibouti
and the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden region. The sessions were often attended by scholars, subject matter experts, and journalists from the region in which comprehensive reports, policy briefs, and commentaries were developed and shared prosperity that took place on
August 25-26, 2021 in Nairobi (Kenya).
