Leadership

AfSA’s leadership team comprises pioneers in space science and policy, dedicated to advancing Africa’s role in global space exploration.

The African Space Council

A crucial part of AfSA’s governance structure is the African Space Council, inaugurated during the 37th Ordinary Session of the AU Assembly. The Council is tasked with providing leadership and oversight to AfSA’s operations. It comprises ten members, two from each of Africa’s five regions, ensuring that all parts of the continent have a voice in the agency’s decision-making processes.
