This peer-reviewed book delves into the profound ways in which space and its applications can be harnessed to foster the growth and diversity of African societies, as envisioned by the African Union's Agenda 2063. Building upon the success of Part 1, which received widespread acclaim within the space community, this comprehensive volume focuses on the crucial role of space in supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Africa. However, it encompasses a far broader range of relevant and timely topics, addressing every aspect of African development. It vividly showcases that, despite significant achievements in recent years in terms of economic and social development, which have lifted many Africans out of poverty, there remains a significant gap to be bridged in fulfilling the basic needs and granting them the dignity they deserve. Recognizing this, space is already being actively employed in diverse fields of human endeavor to contribute to Africa's vision for its future. Nonetheless, there remains ample room for further integration of space systems and data to enhance its impact. This book offers a comprehensive overview of the role space plays in aiding Africa in achieving its developmental aspirations, making it an invaluable resource for students and professionals alike in fields such as space studies, international relations, governance, and social and rural development.
