QUESTIONNAIRE FOR GOVERNMENT MINISTRIES/DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES CONCERNED WITH POLICIES AND APPLICATIONS OF SPACE AND GEOSPATIAL TECHNOLOGIES IN AFRICA |
The African Union Heads of State and Government during their Twenty-Sixth Ordinary Session on 31 January 2016 in Addis Ababa adopted the African Space Policy and Strategy as the first of the concrete steps towards realizing an African Outer Space Programme that was identified as one of the flagship programmes of the AU Agenda 2063 (Decision Assembly/AU/Dec.589 (XXVI)).
Pursuant to this, the African Union Commission is conducting a Comprehensive Survey of Earth Observation (EO) and Geospatial & Allied Technologies Private Sector in Africa. The study aims to facilitate achievement of one of the key aspirations of the African Space Policy and Strategy i.e. developing a sustainable and vibrant indigenous space industry that promotes and responds to Africa’s needs. The survey is expected to provide an in-depth all-round understanding of the current state of the EO and geospatial industry in Africa and recommend a realistic growth pathway for the industry and market in Africa, leveraging the priorities and opportunities ushered by the continent’s Space Policy and Strategy. The study will also generate a comprehensive continental geo-portal/online business directory of the continent’s EO and geospatial & allied technologies private sector entities. The directory will enable each entity to manage and update its content.

The African Union Commission and LocateIT assure you that any sensitive information you may provide about your organization will be treated with the highest level of confidentiality. Such information will only be published in aggregate form.
