The Horn of Africa Resilience Network (HoRN), formerly known as the Horn of Africa Joint Planning Cell, was established by USAID in late 2011. It focuses on building resilience in areas of recurrent crisis in the arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs) across the Horn of Africa countries, based on the resilience focus countries of Ethiopia, Kenya, South Sudan, Uganda, Democratic Republic of Congo and Somalia. The objective of the HoRN is to strengthen regional and cross border collaboration and
improve evidence based learning.
