Linking Borders. Opening Markets.
IGAD is working to connect its Member States through modern transport corridors that cut travel times, ease trade, and give landlocked countries reliable access to the sea.
At a Steering Committee meeting in Nairobi, IGAD launched discussions on the Transport Facilitation and Road Upgrading Studies for the Djibouti–Addis Ababa–Juba–Kampala Corridor. At the close of the meeting, the four IGAD countries signed a Memorandum of Understanding and committed to finalising the related documents in the following months. The corridor, whose feasibility study was funded by the African Development Bank, links three landlocked IGAD countries to one another and to the ports of Djibouti.

A crucial reminder from IGAD’s Executive Secretary H.E @DrWorkneh at #TRTWorldForum today. Sustainable peace in the Horn of Africa can’t be built on temporary patches, it requires deep multilateral engagement and political consensus.
In a world of shifting power and growing uncertainty, peace demands more than crisis management. It requires lasting political solutions, inclusive dialogue and stronger multilateral cooperation.
Pleased to address the TRT World Forum in Istanbul, Türkiye, on the panel “A World Without a Centre.”
For the Horn of Africa, IGAD remains committed to advancing sustainable peace, regional stability and shared prosperity.

🩺 Strengthening Regional Preparedness Against Ebola.
Disease outbreaks know no borders. The spread of Ebola across parts of Eastern Africa underscores the need for early detection, stronger surveillance and coordinated regional action to protect communities.
Through the Regional Preparedness for Pandemic Response (PREPARE) Project, IGAD is working with Member States and partners to strengthen national and cross-border health security.
IGAD has endorsed the reallocation of USD 7 million for Ebola preparedness and response, with country consultations translating these commitments into practical interventions.
