Résumé :	BirdLife International's Important BirdAreas (IBAs) in Africa and associated islands programme was launched at PAOC 8 in Burundi in 1992. Covering 58 countries and territories, it seeks to identify, document and protect all sites of global conservation significance for birds in the region. The initial site identification and documentation phase of the programme will soon be completed with the impending publication of the continental directory, covering some 1238 IBAs. In addition, five national and sub-regional inventories covering ten countries have already been separately published. This paper briefly outlines the programme and describes how the sites have been identified and the inventories compiled. IBA field work has resulted in, amongst other things, a large number of young African ornithologists being trained in bird identification and survey techniques, new sites being found for globally threatened species and the recognition for the first time of the conservation importance of many sites. Preliminary analyses of th average number and size of sites per country, the proportion that are protected and the major threats to them are presented and compared with corresponding data sets for Europe. The role such analyses have for the purposes of advocacy are outlined in the context of the increasingly wide range of activities now underway to improve the conservation status of IBAs.
