Data access and mobility is one in several constraints hindering space agencies and institutions from collaborating in programs. I did the following to address the challenge:1. Oversaw deployment of new satellite data receiving and processing stations that are independent from internet (eStations) to African Union Member States.2. Identified a list of.

I led the formulation and implementation of GMES & Africa, a $30M Earth Observation joint Programme between Africa and Europe utilizing Copernicus Data. GMES & Africa has grown to a network of over 120 National and Regional institutions in 45 countries of Africa, led at the Regional level by12 consortia. By design, each consortia consists a private sector.

I developed a Training Strategy and Training Catalogue to guide Training activities. Trainings are delivered by AUC, Consortia, EU-Joint Research Center (JRC), EU Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), European Space Agency (ESA), and others. In 2020, I achieved the following:1. Integrated ICT with EO by introducing.

I developed and Implemented GMES & Africa Training Catalogue and Training Strategy which prioritizes integration of EO and ICT. Thus, Cloud Computing has become the norm in processing satellite data at least to the level of Analysis Ready Data. I developed and operationalized the Digital Learning Platform (http://gmestraining.africa-union.org/), for online.

1. Working with partner institutions to develop a joint Partnership Roadmap to synergize the Earth Observation African Framework for Research, Innovation, Communities and Applications (EO-AFRICA) and GMES & Africa and facilitate an operational African and European R&D hub in EO to mutually benefit African network of institutions.2. Facilitated.

1. Participated in Global events organized by UN and promoted the African view on space: (1) “Emerging Issues in Space Law and Policy – Perspectives for African Nations” and (2) 'Capacity Building and technical advisory services to African Countries'. These events addressed policy makers at the level of Ambassadors, and heads of technical missions.2..

Working with the African Union Space Working Group, I established the African Outer Space Programme as a Flagship of the Africa Agenda 2063 to strengthen Africa’s use of outer space technology and applications and to bolster socio-economic development in critical sectors e.g. Environment, Communication, Navigation, Timing, Positioning, etc..1. I played key.
