ARTS AND CULTURE

Cross-Cutting the Three Main Programmes

Within the diverse people of the Horn there exists a dynamic cultural heritage.

Poverty, repression, conflict and violence have not been able to extinguish this dynamism, and one of the hopes for regional healing and reconciliation lies with the sustained revitalization of cultural expression.

Arts and culture has the unique capability of augmenting all the other aspects of the Foundation's activities, cross-cutting between issues of environment, gender and conflict resolution.

Using art as a vehicle for promoting a culture of peace in the East and Horn of Africa is our area of activity.
