The socio-economic development of the Horn of Africa countries has been greatly affected by poverty, famine, refugees, illiteracy and diseases as a consequence of conflicts.  Conflicts, lack of peace, political instability  and low socio-economic development are the main barriers for sustainable development, and advancement in the living standards in the Horn of Africa countries (Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia and Djibouti).

In the 21st century, knowledge is an asset and the advancement of education and research in science, technology and humanities could have a great role in transforming the society into an egalitarian knowledge-based society. A civil society that is armed with information is better equipped to organise resistance against oppression. HAREP takes the initiative to set up an e-archive centre for sharing knowledge, supporting e-learning and providing tools support for research institutes, scholars, and other professionals in this region and around the world. The purpose of developing  this website is to create an easily accessible web resource in science and technology fields ; development ; social science ; archaeology and cultural  heritage. In the long term, this electronic archival centre will serve as a digital  research library  for advancement of education and development in the Horn of Africa.

The resources of this website are mainly electronic research papers, theses, articles, databases, listing of important publications which are focused on research and education.  It also   includes websites of institutes, universities and international organisations from the region and globally.

HAREP calls for all researchers, scholars and graduates and post- graduate students from this region and others who have interest in research relating to the Horn of Africa to contribute  their publications.
