This book explores the role of space-based applications in supporting African good governance by strengthening civil society, bolstering democratic processes and advancing socio-economic development. The increased use of such applications can accelerate Africa's progress towards the United Nations Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, as well as the African Union's Agenda 2063 aspirations This book examines key challenges facing governance within African to provide an accurate account of the current African context. It discusses specific examples of e-governance and digital solutions that leverage space-based technologies and have been successfully implemented in both the developed and developing world. In the context of the numerous satellite constellations being deployed to provide affordable Internet connectivity globally, it examines the major actors in this sector and presents additional governance solutions based on remote sensing and Earth observation data. Given its scope, the book will be of interest to professionals and students in the fields of development, governance and space studies. . 410 0$aStudies in space policy ;$vVolume 28. 606 $aInternet in public administration$zAfrica 606 $aSpace industrialization$xGovernment policy$zAfrica 607 $aAfrica$xPolitics and government$y21st century 615 0$aInternet in public administration 615 0$aSpace industrialization$xGovernment policy 676 $a351.60285 700 $aFroehlich$b Annette$0846439 702 $aRingas$b Nicolas 702 $aWilson$b James 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910422643303321 996 $aSpace supporting Africa$92096658 997 $aUNINA
