Background
For over 30 years the Life & Peace Institute has worked in the Horn of Africa to strengthen the voice of people affected by conflict and support solutions from the bottom up. In 2014, LPI signed a host agreement with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ethiopia to open its regional office to engage in continental and sub-regional policy affairs and to effectively facilitate and oversee its projects in the Horn of Africa Region from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
In 2017-2020, the Horn of Africa Regional Programme (HARP) of the Life & Peace Institute will advocate for human-centred, participatory and evidence-based regional responses potent enough to “disrupt” the perpetual cycle of states’ responses to the region’s human security challenges. Through HARP in 2017-2020, LPI will contribute to improved policies and actions on strategic regional issues affecting human that will lead to a reality where all people in the Horn lead lives of peace and dignity, where human security needs are met, as a result of inclusive and transformative policy engagement.
