THE FUTURE IS HERE

China’s Space Collaboration with Africa

As the international community evolves around the “new normal” in global outer space affairs, one in which space program capacity is no longer limited to a few great powers, an important dimension to assess is the development of space programs by African countries — and China’s growing role in them.

On November 14, USIP hosted a discussion on its new report, “China’s Space Collaboration with Africa: Implications and Recommendations for the United States.” The conversation examined the pertinent facets of Africa-China space cooperation and explored entry points and barriers for U.S. policy in Africa’s evolving space domain.

The United States Institute of Peace is a national, nonpartisan, independent institute, founded by Congress and dedicated to the proposition that a world without violent conflict is possible, practical and essential for U.S. and global security. In conflict zones abroad, the Institute works with local partners to prevent, mitigate, and resolve violent conflict. To reduce future crises and the need for costly interventions, USIP works with governments and civil societies to build local capacities to manage conflict peacefully. The Institute pursues its mission by linking research, policy, training, analysis and direct action to support those who are working to build a more peaceful, inclusive world.
