In continuation of its efforts to increase awareness of the benefits of implementing the Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) in Africa, the SatNav Africa Joint Program Office (JPO) in collaboration with the Rwanda Civil Aviation Authority (RCAA) organised the 4th outreach event in Kigali Rwanda, targeting Aviation and non-aviation experts from Eastern African Region.

The 30th Ordinary Summit of the African Union (AU) Assembly of Heads of States and Government Summit held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in January 2018 launched the Single African Air Market (SAATM). Following the Decisions by the AU Heads of States Summit to fast track the implementation of SAATM, in January 2019 the AUC in collaboration with AFCAC set up the SAATM Joint Prioritized Action Plan involving all partners and key stakeholders in the implementation of SAATM.

The 1st of June 2022, the First Steering Committee Meeting of the new Programme “Support to Satellite Navigation in Africa-III” took place in Kigali, Rwanda with venue at Serena Hotel and back to back with the continental SBAS CBA Workshop organized by AUC and AFCAC.

SatNav Africa JPO took part in the fifth meeting of the African Air Navigation Services Providers (ANSPs) that was held in Lomé, Togo from 28th March to 2nd April 2022. The main objectives of the meeting were to: review the status of implementation of the recommendations from the last African ANSPs meeting which was held in 2019; analyse the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the provision of air navigation services; identify the African ANSPs’ common challenges, and to agree on priority areas of cooperation.

The NewSpace Africa Conference was a high-level gathering of industry leaders, commercial space companies, investors, and other key stakeholders in the African space and satellite industry. Attended by Semou Diouf (JPO Director), Bakienon Louis (Director of Operations-ASECNA), Alex Wanda (GNSS Expert) and Agnes Kobusinge (GNSS Operations expert), the 3-day conference featured selected keynotes, interactive sessions, panel discussions and offered a platform for business pitches, B2B matchmaking, B2C matchmaking and unique networking opportunities.
