      abstract = {There has been an increase in the volume of waste generated and the attendant poor waste management practices as a result of urbanization in Africa. These practices include extensive waste disposal in waterways and unregulated dump sites. These behaviours and patterns have resulted in poor sanitary standards, which has led to disease outbreaks like the plague, cholera, and typhoid fever in some African countries. This paper presented an understanding of waste-to-energy (WtE) technologies that can improve municipal solid waste management and provides an overview of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in the context of Africa. The landfill airspace in African major cities is fast diminishing. In addition, youth unemployment is also fast rising in the continent, especially in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Investment in WtE technologies could mitigate the challenge of poor environmental waste management and create long-term jobs for many technically trained unemployed youths. In some cities in Africa, municipal authorities have made attempts to start WtE projects. The cities use landfill gas and biogas recovery technologies from waste materials to generate power for use at already operational disposal sites. To generate electricity and generate opportunities for job creation for youths especially those with technical manpower, this paper presents the prospects, opportunities, and challenges of investment in WtE technologies in Africa. It also highlighted the possible roles of the actors in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in WtE technologies for sustainable development in Africa.},
