OUR VISION
To be the premier regional organization for achieving peace, prosperity and regional integration in the IGAD region.
Our Mission
To assist and complement the efforts of Member States through greater cooperation in three areas.
Food security & environmental protection

THE ACADEMY

Courses are written by IGAD's own specialists through its e-learning Community of Practice, and designed with accessibility, gender responsiveness and inclusion in mind.
