However, IGAD is doing its best to restore peace and security in the region. Member States started to cooperate each other for this common good. Despite this effort, the ever increasing internal and external conflicts and war challenged the peace progress. This is mainly due to member states of horn of Africa did not pay adequate attention towards local communities. The communities are not architect of the road map and they are not vanguards in implementing the peace and security framework.
