The East and Horn of Africa Anti-Trafficking (EHAAT) Network

To collaboratively counter trafficking in persons and unsafe migration through prevention, protection, prosecution and partnerships.

Bringing together over 100 organizations across 7 countries to sustainably protect survivors of human trafficking

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.

Our Vision

a society free from trafficking in persons and unsafe migration.

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.
