The African School of Fundamental Physics and Applications, also known as the African School of Physics (ASP), was initiated in 2010, as a three-week biennial event, to offer additional training in fundamental and applied physics to African students with a minimum of three-year university education. Since its inception, ASP has grown to be much more than a school. ASP has become a series of activities and events with directed ethos towards physics as an engine for development in Africa. One such activity of ASP is the African Conference on Fundamental and Applied Physics (ACP). The first edition of ACP took place during the 2018 edition of ASP at the University of Namibia in Windhoek. In this paper, we report on the second edition of ACP, organized on March 7-11, 2022, as a virtual event.

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.
