The purpose of AFSAGA was to analyse the potential applications that could be open as a combination of Galileo and satellite communications in South Africa and the whole Southern African Development Community (SADC) region.

Key achievements
AFSAGA managed to raise awareness of satellite navigation and communications applications in Southern Africa, while in the same time providing a list of potential applications and the barriers to the development of these applications.

Impacts of AFSAGA
The impacts of the project were manifold. Because of the time span of this project (12 months), it was possible to assess the evolution of the navigation market in Southern Africa. The project also gives some developing opportunities: business opportunities for companies willing to embark on the navigation market, and R&D opportunities for further projects under Framework programmes and the like. Finally, AFSAGA strengthened the relationship between Europe and South Africa in the space cooperation, especially with the creation of the South African Space Agency.
