For over four decades, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) has been a force for peace, resilience, and regional integration in the Greater Horn of Africa.

“Rising with IGAD” is a campaign that celebrates this journey — and the people who power it.

From borderlands to innovation hubs, from peace talks to farmlands, from emergency response to trade corridors — this campaign brings you the voices, stories, and solutions that define IGAD’s vision of a peaceful, integrated, and prosperous region.

What We Stand For

At the heart of Rising with IGAD is our mission to:

• Promote peace and security through dialogue, diplomacy, and inclusive governance
• Strengthen resilience to climate change, drought, and natural disasters
• Advance regional integration by improving trade, infrastructure, and mobility
• Empower communities through health systems, social development, and inclusive policies
• Champion innovation and opportunity for women, youth, and cross-border populations
