Co-Ambassadors are the point of contact for ASAF at a national level. They promote ASAF and support, organise and motivate ASAF members in their country of assignment and the corresponding country group in the ASAF online community.

Their main tasks are the promotion of specific AU and EU mobility programmes (Nyerere Scholarship Scheme; Erasmus+ (International Credit Mobility and Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters Degree Programme); Intra-Africa and Intra-ACP Academic Mobility Scheme), to assist students and staff before they leave for their mobility, as well as to assist and welcome incoming students, teachers, lecturers and staff, who will have their mobility in their country of assignment.
