The Office of Astronomy for Development (OAD) aims to use astronomy, including its tools, practitioners and skills, to benefit society. The OAD, a joint project of the International Astronomical Union and the South African National Research Foundation, has the vision of using ‘Astronomy for a better world’. Since 2013, the OAD has funded more than 120 projects that use astronomy to address developmental issues as defined under the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
