Focus areas for development would be:
- Professional development: This will address tertiary education, research training and research infrastructure in order to build professional astronomy research capacity within the country.
- Development of public understanding of astronomy: This will target the general public and take the form of activities and events that stimulate an interest in astronomy. This focus area includes the development of an amateur astronomy community.
- School-level education development: This will address primary and secondary education. It will focus on taking astronomy to the classroom (and beyond e.g. younger children through UNAWE) and stimulating an interest in Mathematics and Science amongst young people.
