key_actorsThe Regional Resource Hub is hosted and technically coordinated by the Regional Centre for Mapping of Resources for Development (RCMRD), located in Nairobi Kenya, under the guidance of the Regional Economic Communities and national authorities.

The Regional Economic Communities (East African Community (EAC), Southern African Development Community (SADC), Indian Ocean Commission (IOC) and Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD)) play an unique role in the definition of priorities and regional needs. In addition, they collaborate to determine useful analytical and decision-making tools and with the preparation of policy briefs and other advocacy activities.
