The Kenya Space Agency board and management has launched the KSA Strategic Plan 2023-2027.

The strategic plan outlines the path for the Kenya Space Agency’s (KSA) aspirations to nurture Kenya’s emerging space economy, aiming to significantly contribute to national socioeconomic development over the next five years. Aligned with the KSA’s objective of the ‘effective utilisation of space capabilities for national development,’ the plan focuses on six key areas for the implementation of the Kenyan space programme during this period: coordination and regulation of space activities; national space capability development; utilisation of space services and technologies; space research, innovation and development; resource mobilisation; and strengthening institutional capacity.

H.E. Hon. Aden Duale said that the strategic plan aligned with the national development agenda and priorities highlighted in Kenya’s Vision 2030, Medium-Term Plan IV and sought to contribute to the realisation of the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda while also addressing other international and regional goals stipulated under the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and African Union Agenda 2030.
