Résumé : This paper approaches the safeguarding of Africa's physical cultural resources in the context of development cooperation, infrastructure and environmental management. I focus on the World Bank's physical cultural resource policy, as it constitutes to this day the most comprehensive tool for mitigating the adverse impacts of infrastructure development. However, it will also be shown that issues of noncompliance still persist in bank-financed projects, especially concerning Africa's cultural resources. The European Commission's policies toward heritage preservation will also be touched upon for purposes of contrast. I will close with suggestions for future activities that may have a positive impact on safeguarding those resources. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
