Introduction

The Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa (SIHA) Network is committed to advancing women’s rights and strengthening feminist movements across the region. To effectively communicate its impact, learning, and strategic direction, SIHA seeks to develop a comprehensive 2025 Annual Report that provides an overview and in-depth analysis of the programmes and interventions implemented across the Greater Horn of Africa in diverse contexts and thematic areas. The Annual Report will showcase SIHA’s achievements, document key outcomes and lessons, and highlight the organization’s contribution to gender equality, justice, and women’s leadership. It will serve as a key accountability, advocacy, and communications tool for SIHA’s members, partners, donors, and other stakeholders.
