本論文は、ベナンにおける循環型経済移行を支援する国際協力の実態を批判的に分析。質的研究手法（文献レビュー、政策文書分析、半構造化インタビュー、比較事例研究）を用い、協力が循環型経済の主流化や戦略枠組みの構築に寄与した一方、断片的な介入、短期プロジェクト、セクター間調整の欠如、外部資金への依存が長期的な制度化を妨げていると指摘。標準モデルの文脈不適合やインフォーマルな廃棄物関係者の周縁化も課題とし、システム的かつ場所に根ざした協力モデルへの転換を提唱。
English
This paper critically examines international cooperation for Benin's circular economy transition using qualitative methods. It finds contributions such as mainstreaming circular economy concepts and developing strategic frameworks, but notes limitations from fragmented interventions, short project cycles, weak coordination, and dependence on external funding. It also highlights problems with transferred standardized models and marginalization of informal waste actors. The authors argue for a shift to systemic, place-based cooperation emphasizing co-design, long-term finance, and learning-oriented monitoring.

📄 Abstract（原文）
This article critically examines how international cooperation supports Benin’s transition towards a circular economy, with a particular focus on partnerships, funding mechanisms, and institutional, strategic, and operational constraints. Drawing on a qualitative research design combining literature review, project and policy document analysis, semi-structured interviews, and comparative case studies, the paper shows that international cooperation has helped mainstream circular economy ideas, produce strategic frameworks (including the National Circular Economy Action Plan), and stimulate local experimentation especially in the solid waste sector. However, these contributions remain limited by fragmented interventions, short project cycles, weak cross-sector coordination, and sustained dependence on external funding, which collectively undermine long-term institutionalization and territorial anchoring. The transfer of standardized models with insufficient contextual adaptation, alongside the persistent marginalization of informal waste actors, further constrains scalability and inclusiveness. The article argues for a shift from a project-based approach to a systemic and place-based cooperation model that prioritizes co-design with local stakeholders, recognition and integration of informal actors, long-term financing instruments, and learning-oriented monitoring and evaluation, as conditions for a genuinely transformative circular transition in Benin.
