Abstract
The second African Conference of Fundamental and Applied Physics (ACP2021) took place in the week of March 7-11, 2022. During this conference, all the African Strategy for Fundamental and Applied Physics (ASFAP) working groups had been reserved specials sessions to discuss their scope, activities (past & current) and topics of common interests. The aim of this report is to summarize the discussion of the ASFAP working groups in societal engagements, namely Physics Education, Community Engagement, Young Physicists and Women in Physics. The recommendations for future activities in societal engagements are summarised in the report as well.
