The Horn of Africa (HoA) project, financed by the European Union (EU) and implemented by GIZ, FIIAPP and Expertise France (EF), aims to support the member states of the Horn of Africa (HoA) region to enhance their public sector service delivery through improved and secure digital delivery channels that contribute to a harmonization of policies and initiatives and the creation of a single digital market in the HoA region.

Indeed, the Horn of Africa Initiative (HoAI) launched in October 2019 by the governments of Djibouti, Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Eritrea to identify and harmonise regional approaches that address common challenges in the region. The present six member states of the Initiative (Sudan-May 2021) have set ambitious goals for a coordinated regional approach on issues ranging from regional connectivity and infrastructure, economic integration and employment promotion, to resilience building and human capacity development. The adoption of digital technologies, especially those that enable digital public service delivery, have been identified as bearing strong development potential and a strategic priority for the HoAI.

The Action therefore aims to support the HoAI member states in developing the necessary strategic, institutional, regulatory, and human capacities needed to establish regional digital government services. To secure digital services, the Action also focusses on strengthening an efficient, effective and sustainable cybersecurity in the region. It complements national related programs and regional initiatives, notably those supported by other development partners supporting HoAI.

The overall objective of the Action is to harmonise the regulatory, technical and legal initiatives in the HoA towards a single digital market.
