Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa (SIHA) Network is an indigenous African women’s rights organisation that holds a unique position working as a regional civil society organisation in politically volatile contexts.
SIHA works in a variety of cultural, political and geographical environments in Uganda, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Eritra, Somalia, Somaliland, Sudan and South Sudan.
SIHA approaches the struggle for women’s rights in the Greater Horn of Africa (GoA) as a political one, and as such, they hold their aims of fundamental political transformation at the forefront of what they do.
SIHA aims to contribute to unlocking the massive potential of women’s rights movements in the HoA, by improving the capacity of local organisations in the HoA and to build a strong network of grassroots civil society members that are able to interact and support one another in advocating for effective change.
