The mission, organized in partnership with the UNOOSA and the Italian Space Agency, aims to strengthen laws and regulatory frameworks governing space activities across the continent. The discussions come as countries invest in satellites and space research, with a focus on developing national policies and institutions to regulate space technology. Kenya, which has a long history of involvement in space activities dating back to 1964, is currently working on a Draft Space Bill and Draft Space Policy.",
