Memo: EU development cooperation in the Horn of Africa

Food security, agriculture and rural development are key sectors of EU development work with the Horn of Africa. Since 2008, the EU has committed over €400 million to Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia; helping to feed the most vulnerable, improve nutrition and support sustainable agriculture in order to reduce the risks of outbreaks of famine. There are numerous projects on-going, with encouraging results.
