Insight. Action. Change

Balqiis is a non-partisan think-and-do tank established in late 2022, dedicated to advancing peace, security, and human rights for communities in the Horn of Africa. We believe addressing fundamental challenges that drive insecurity and injustice such as the climate crisis can enhance regional stability and well-being. Our efforts are concentrated in four key areas:

  • Participation and leadership
  • Protection and rights
  • Resilience and adaptation
  • Governance, institutional integrity, and reform

Protection & Rights

Ensuring the well-being of vulnerable populations in FCV settings.

Resilience & Adaptation

Empowering communities to achieve sustainable development and resilience.

Governance, Institutional Integrity & Reform

Advocating for transparent and accountable governance, working towards institutional reforms.
