This comprehensive open-access book delves into the effective management of transboundary UNESCO World Heritage sites within the African region. It showcases the region as a prime example of successful cross-border collaboration in the conservation of these precious sites, engaging with local communities, and combating (in some instances) extremist groups that inhabit them. Furthermore, it explores the pivotal role of the World Heritage Convention in fostering transboundary cooperation and presents both an analytical examination and a comprehensive list of priorities for enhancing the efficient management of transboundary properties in Sub-Saharan Africa.

The book features chapters authored by esteemed experts, site managers, technical and financial partners, academics, and representatives from the private sector from 20 African countries and 15 institutions actively involved in African heritage management. It offers a valuable platform for sharing current and upcoming initiatives at the transboundary sites inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, including the Maloti-Drakensberg Park (South Africa, Lesotho), the W-Arly-Pendjari Complex (Benin, Burkina Faso, Niger), the Sangha Trinational (Cameroon, Congo, Central African Republic), and the Mosi-oa-Tunya / Victoria Falls (Zambia, Zimbabwe).

Moreover, the publication delves into African sites that have the potential to be proposed for extension or nomination to the UNESCO World Heritage List in close collaboration with local and indigenous communities. This book is of utmost relevance to heritage specialists and readers with a keen interest in cross-border collaborations.
