One of the main goals of IHY is to promote space science activities in developing countries. We summarize the current status and perspectives of ionospheric and heliospheric projects in several African countries. The study concerns the GPS receivers, ionosondes, magnetometers and their contribution to the global worldwide measurements. A case study of some energetic events shows the necessity of establishing central stations in Africa to cover the data break in this region of the world. Finally, we discuss the proposals and challenges of IHY 2007 in both educational and space science research, as well as, the framework of the future strategy for the development of space science in Africa.
