This project is to support the International Heliophysical Year (IHY) Africa 2009 workshop to be held in Livingstone, Zambia from June 8-12, 2009. The workshop is a follow-on to the SCIntillation Network Decision Aid (SCINDA)/IHY Africa 2007 workshop held in Ethiopia. The scientific driver is investigation of the sources of and responses to space weather, particularly in regards to communications and navigation. A focus of IHY is the deployment of ground-based instrumentation in Africa, including the development of research infrastructure in developing nations. Some of this is accomplished by deploying instruments from ''donor'' nations to ''host'' institutions in Africa. The workshop will enable continued and strong interaction between scientists from the donor institutes and host institutes. The meeting will focus on four main science areas: (1) Total Electron Content, (2) Ionospheric Irregularities and Scintillation, (3) Heliospace Science and (4) Electrodynamics and Plasmasphere. In addition, the meeting will include a fifth area of emphasis: Space Science Education and Public Outreach. The meeting will include oral sessions, poster sessions, and discussion sessions, and anticipates hosting 75 to 100 participants. Special efforts will be made to include graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and young researchers, with particular attention paid to enabling participation from African nations.

该项目是为了支持将于2009年6月8日至12日在赞比亚利文斯通举行的2009年国际太阳物理年非洲讲习班。该讲习班是在埃塞俄比亚举办的闪烁网络决策援助(SCINDA)/IHY非洲2007年讲习班的后续活动。科学的驱动力是调查空间天气的来源和反应，特别是在通信和导航方面。IHY的一个重点是在非洲部署地面仪器，包括在发展中国家发展研究基础设施。其中一部分是通过将工具从“捐助国”部署到非洲的“东道国”机构来实现的。讲习班将使捐助研究所和主办研究所的科学家能够继续进行强有力的互动。会议将集中讨论四个主要科学领域：(1)电子总量、(2)电离层不规则性和闪烁、(3)太阳空间科学和(4)电动力学和等离子体层。此外，会议还将包括第五个重点领域：空间科学教育和公众宣传。会议将包括口头会议、海报会议和讨论会议，预计将接待75至100名与会者。将特别努力纳入研究生、博士后研究员和青年研究人员，并特别注意促进非洲国家的参与。
