Abstract	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.Cet article traite la question de la protection du patrimoine culturel en Afrique dans le contexte de la coopération au développement, l’infrastructure et la gestion environnementale. L’accent est mis sur la politique opérationnelle de la Banque Mondiale car cela constitue actuellement l’outil le plus complet pour atténuer les impacts négatifs suite au développement industriel. Toutefois, il sera témoigné que les problèmes de non-conformité persistent dans les projets financés par la Banque Mondiale, particulièrement par rapport à la sauvegarde du patrimoine culturel. La politique de l’Union Européenne sur la protection du patrimoine culturel sera aussi mentionnée pour la comparer avec celle de la Banque Mondiale. L’article clôturera avec des suggestions pour des activités futures qui pourront avoir un impact positif sur la sauvegarde de ces ressources.
