Abstract
African countries are facing serious waste problems due to increasing urbanization and population growth. The city of Yokohama, which had once overcome a similar experience, has been helping African countries by sharing their know-how. The basis for this support is the African Clean Cities Platform.
Although international cooperation is not something that can be directly returned to citizens like any administrative service would be, through the programs introduced, the perspective of the administration itself can be expanded and the learning that takes place in the activities can be translated into policy development suited to the situation in domestic and foreign societies.
