What is the African Outer Space Programme ?

By 2063, Africa is expected to show improved standards of living; transformed, inclusive and sustained economies; increased levels of regional and continental integration; a population of empowered women and youth and a society in which children are cared for and protected; societies that are peaceful, demonstrate good democratic values and practice good governance principles and which preserve and enhance Africa’s cultural identity.

What is the aim ?

The African Outer Space Flagship purposes to create a well-coordinated and integrated continental programme that is responsive to the social, economic, political and environmental needs of the continent, as well as being globally competitive. It also aims to develop a regulatory framework that supports the African space agenda and ensures that the continent is a responsible and peaceful user of outer space. The Arab Republic of Egypt will host the continental African Space Agency.
