In the Horn of Africa, high poverty rates and recurring shocks—such as droughts, conflicts, and economic disruptions—push vulnerable populations into crisis year after year, resulting in human suffering, loss of lives, and livelihoods. At HACOF, we believe that resilience-building is the key to breaking this cycle. Research shows that every dollar invested in resilience yields nearly three dollars in development benefits and reduces future humanitarian needs.

Aligned with the global resilience movement, HACOF partners with governments, regional institutions, donors, and humanitarian organizations to support country-led resilience plans. We empower communities to minimize exposure, adapt effectively, and recover rapidly from shocks through strategic investments and collaborative action. By convening key stakeholders, facilitating knowledge-sharing, and fostering joint planning, we ensure that resilience efforts are inclusive, locally-driven, and sustainable.
