To achieve global impact, the OAD has established 11 Regional Offices and Language Centres of Astronomy for Development around the world to improve local understanding of how astronomy can address community-specific challenges, realise its potential impact, and amplify its contribution to development. These offices share the OAD’s vision and provide valuable local insights to the OAD, while tailoring their activities to specific regional, cultural, or linguistic needs.
