Now in their eleventh year, the courses provide a basis for understanding current political and developmental challenges in the region. They are taught by teams of leading specialists&ndash;from the region and beyond-and offer a unique opportunity to spend time with an outstanding group of specialists, away from routine distractions. RVI courses are designed for policy-makers, diplomats, investors, development workers, researchers, activists and journalists&ndash;for new arrivals in the region and those already working there who wish to deepen their knowledge. A dawn-to-dusk programme of seminars, lectures, group discussions and special events examines the key social, environmental, political and cultural features of each of the three sub-regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:30px;padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px\" class=\"is-core-paragraph-block has-space-small-mb\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/riftvalley.net\/event\/horn-africa-course-2014\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Horn of Africa Course<\/a><\/strong><br><em>31 May &ndash; 6 June 2014<\/em><br>The 2014 Horn of Africa Course, held in Kenya from 31 May to 6 June, will cover Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, Somalia, Somaliland, Puntland, and northern Kenya.

In Burundi, it will examine the challenges facing the country in the run-up to the 2015 elections. For Rwanda, the focus will be on the tensions between political liberalization and the top-down approach to economic and social development. The course is in English and French with simultaneous translation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:30px;padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px\" class=\"is-core-paragraph-block has-space-small-mb\">To apply online&ndash;and to obtain further information on courses, staff, and locations&ndash;please visit&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.riftvalley.net\/key-projects\/courses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.riftvalley.net\/key-projects\/courses<\/a>&nbsp;and download the&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/riftvalley.net\/download\/file\/fid\/3194\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2014 Field Course Prospectus<\/a>.
