Who This Service Is For

The Strategic Intelligence Briefing is designed for governments, diplomatic missions, international organisations, development partners, private sector entities and financial institutions operating in or making decisions about the Horn of Africa and Great Lakes region. It is especially valuable for institutions requiring rapid situational awareness without the capacity for sustained in-house research.
