The African Space Agency (AfSA) is a continental space organisation established by the African Union (AU) to promote cooperation between the space policies of the AU's member states. The AU adopted the African Space Policy and Strategy in 2016 and agreed upon the statute underlying AfSA in 2018. This marked the birth of the African Space Agency as an Organ of the African Union. A technical evaluation process was undertaken to select the host country, and in 2019, Egypt was endorsed as the host. In 2023, the African Union adopted the structural and financial implications of the AfSA. The headquarters of the African Space Agency is now hosted in Cairo, alongside the Egyptian Space Agency (EgSA).
