The East and Horn of Africa Anti-Trafficking (EHAAT) Network is a professional and data-driven collective of over 100 civil society organizations (CSOs) working together to protect migrants and survivors of human trafficking across the East and Horn of Africa, in Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan and Ugand. Together, we amplify efforts to stop exploitation and human trafficking by shaping policies and driving solutions that protect the most vulnerable.
The Regional Civil Society Organisation (CSO) Network is an informal, largely self-organising network of CSOs that work on issues relating to anti-trafficking and the protection of vulnerable migrants in East Africa. It was initiated in 2017 by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH under the Better Migration Management Programme (BMM), which is funded by the Federal Government of Germany and the European Union.
EHAAT comprises of many activities, such as hosting an Annual Regional CSO Forum to Promote Safe and Fair Migration, having Monthly Regional CSO Network Calls, connecting to regional processes, and offering regional CSO trainings.
By leveraging the diversity within the EHAAT Network, we ensure members understand each others’ perspectives and progress.
We utilize data and evidence to
inform strategies and highlight the
impact of EHAAT members’ efforts.
Through our network and resource hub, we offer strategies and documentation on effective practices in the industry.
We enhance the capabilities of all EHAAT members by promoting and sharing best practices, building on our strengths.
EHAAT brings together key anti-trafficking organisations from all over the region. Freedom Collaborative is the hosting organisation and central focal point to facilitate with the national CSO coalition coordinators per country. For more information, please contact us.
