This actually kinda reminds me of Beyond Earth which also leads me to wonder if there would be a sort of African Union space program. Maybe they'd specialize in hydroponics or something?

I don't know - I suppose countries like Nigeria are expected to have exceptionally powerful economies in the next 50 years, so it would be a shame to leave them out. African countries would likely have had to solve their food and drought problems, too, so I see no reason why they wouldn't have expertise in agriculture. 

I'll add them in their own right once I look into it a bit more. Off the top of my head, Nigeria or South Africa are the most likely candidates, though.
