Our vision is to create and support a globally competitive and collaborative astronomy community in Africa. Our mission is to be the voice of astronomy in Africa and to contribute to addressing the challenges faced by Africa through the promotion and advancement of astronomy. Our key objective is to develop Astronomy and Human Capacity throughout the continent of Africa through a vibrant and active AfAS.
