Shaping regional narratives. Delivering strategic insight.
Horn Report is a political risk advisory organisation and think tank dedicated to shaping regional narratives and delivering strategic insight on the Horn of Africa and its place in the wider global order. In today’s volatile international landscape, influence lies not only in policy or power projection but also in the narratives that frame them. Our team combines emerging scholars, early-career professionals, and seasoned experts in defence, security, and political risk. This balance of fresh perspectives and deep expertise ensures our work remains innovative, rigorous, and strategically relevant.
We are committed to producing actionable intelligence and forward-looking analysis that serve governments, international organisations, businesses, and local stakeholders by helping them to:
- Anticipate risks and identify opportunities.
- Provide context that challenges prevailing assumptions.
- Empower local perspectives within global conversations.
- Bridge the gap between regional realities and international strategy.
At its core, Horn Report is a narrative shaper – ensuring the Horn of Africa is understood on its own terms while providing the strategic insights needed to navigate geopolitical competition.
Why It Matters
The Horn of Africa sits at the crossroads of global security, trade, and diplomacy. Yet its stories are too often shaped from outside.
Horn Report ensures the region is understood on its own terms – while equipping decision-makers and stakeholders with the insights they need to navigate a shifting global order.
