OSFAC Management is composed of three main administrative bodies: the General Assembly, the Board of Directors and the Executive Management based in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo. In every country of the Congo Basin, OSFAC is represented by national agencies (focal points) that coordinate activities across the Congo Basin. 

 OSFAC’s primary objective is to establish itself as an independent organization dedicated to using satellite data to detect and manage environmental change in the Congo Basin. It aims to contribute to COMIFAC’s Convergence Plan by producing reliable and useful land cover products for managers and decision-makers.

In order to achieve this objective and assure the application of its products, OSFAC is also committed to using its regional network to improve data availability and build capacity to use satellite data and related products across Central Africa.
