African Space Budget Analysis Report, 2024
The African Space Budget Analysis Report, 2024 aggregates annual budgets by African governments to space programmes and explores the factors influencing budgetary decisions, including technological priorities and national strategic objectives. The primary objective of this report is to help decision-makers understand the size of the government budget for space across all African countries and the priorities of each government.
This report focuses on two primary budget groups. Firstly, it examines historical budgets from 2018 to 2023 to discern financial commitment trends across African nations. Similarly, it analyses the 2024 budget allocations for space programmes to gain insights into countries’ expectations and directions regarding their space initiatives. It is important to note that countries may operate in different fiscal years; however, we considered each country’s most recent fiscal year to maintain consistency in reporting. The report transparently details each country’s budgetary period to aid readers in understanding each nation’s fiscal period.
