The poverty that exists is beyond the control of the hard-working resilient, warm and friendly people who live there.

Welcome to Panos Eastern Africa |
|
Panos Eastern Africa emerged specifically out of the East Africa and the Horn Regional Program run by Panos London. This program, which started in 1986, had a main focus on capacity building of journalists and information organizations and developed further when Panos London made the decision to under the regionalisation policy to locate management of programs within the regions thus setting up regional offices under their own governance, known as the Regional Advisory Committee (RAC), constituting respected and knowledgeable figures from across the region who would become the formal authority for the organization.
The new regional centres are designed to be dynamic catalysts for public debate, rather than bureaucratic structures. All members of staff were to be drawn from within the region and after an establishment of phase of 5-6 years, all the regional centres were expected to become autonomous of Panos London. In 1997, regional office was set up in Addis Ababa and later relocated to Kampala, thereby converting the Addis office into a country office. Between 1997 and 2003, the Regional office steadily grew from having only two programs: Media Pluralism and Pastoralist Communication Program, to embracing other programs including, Media for Peace, Globalization and Governance, Environment, Gender and Violence, and HIV/AIDS. PEA covers the Greater Horn of Africa (GHA) countries of Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Sudan, Somalia, Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.
