Who We Are

During the World Bank Group/IMF Annual Meetings held on 18 October 2019 in Washington, D.C., the Ministers of Finance and other representatives of the Horn of Africa (HoA) countries highlighted the importance of establishing a mission-driven organization that supports entrepreneurship and economic development in the Horn of Africa.
