Summary/Abstract: International activity of local governments may be one of the most important tools for Poland’s involvement in Sub-Saharan African countries. By organising business missions and information activities, local government units support local enterprises in African markets. Another area of cities and regions’ engagement is development and humanitarian aid in the poorer regions of the continent. Due to the rapid urbanisation in African countries, cooperation with local authorities can also become an important element of the exchange of experience and promotion of Polish cities.
