PROCUREMENT

AfSA Purchases

Main ImageHover Image

The African Space Agency (AfSA), under the oversight of the African Union Commission (AUC), has implemented a comprehensive procurement policy to cater to the diverse needs of its space programmes. This policy emphasises transparency, competitive bidding, and equal opportunity for contractors, ensuring market prices remain fair while engaging the most suitable partners.

 

As the principal agency for space initiatives in Africa, AfSA collaborates with a variety of external specialists to advance innovation and foster new space technologies with applications across multiple societal sectors. The complex and highly specialised nature of space development often requires the support of industrial experts, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to achieve mission objectives.

 

In addition to technical contracts for its space programmes, AfSA allocates part of its budget toward acquiring services and supplies to meet the logistical demands of its operational facilities. This strategic partnership with both industry leaders and SMEs within Africa supports the continent’s goal of becoming a self-reliant player in the global space arena.
