ABSTRACT: Africa has a great history of countless tribulations for Pan-Africanism, continental, and regional integration. Yet, its path toward consolidating unity and progress is replete with foundational obstacles. Horn of African region is not any different from the greater Africa, it has its efforts to establish a well-integrated region, but as elsewhere, faced constant challenges, this article attempts to contribute to the ongoing debates on the viability of the proposed HOA regional integration. Moreover, this paper will critically analyze the main challenges towards the attainment of well-functioning regional blocks to redress the failures usually encountered in the process of integration, and present as well the available options and ways forward. However, for the well conduction of the study, a qualitative, and in-depth review on the existing literate will be relayed on. The study will further elaborate the possible methods, procedures and recommendation to overcome constraints and challenges encountered in the processes of integration.
