University of Yaoundé 1
13 years of experience
I have a Master degree in Animal Biology (specialization: Hydrobiology and Environment), a second Master degree in Plant Biotechnologies (Specialization: Genetics) and three years of Public Law. I have some skills in Intellectual property rights, Leadership, governance and cultural and creatives industries.
I have been enrolled to a PhD Program in Genetics, while been a National Environmental inspector on oath in charge of the Inspection Unit for the aquatic, coastal and marine milieu.
I worked on projects such as Montreal protocol on ozone layer protection; Nagoya protocol on Access and Benefit Sharing of the utilization of genetic resources and traditional knowledge associated; Basel Convention on the control of transboundary movements of hazardous waste and their disposal and Minamata convention on mercury.
I have been involved in:
• Environmental inspections and controls ;
• Support for maritime sector reform in the Gulf of Guinea ;
• Auditing practices in environmental project management;
• Systems and methods for inspecting biological invasions;
• Project management and performance evaluation criteria;
• Auditing practices in project management: the case of environmental projects.
Henceforth, I participate in the monitoring of the environment against harmful effects of industrial activities and also participate in writing of guidelines, regulatory and policy drafts documents such as ABS Law; Mutually Agreed Terms Template; Prior Informed Consent Template; Capacity building program for local communities; integrated sustainable management plan for two value chains; substantive report to set up a national to document, maintain, protect and promote traditional knowledge associated with genetic resources; ABS national strategy and communication plan; community protocol for the access of genetic resources Template; graphic charter on ABS; Technical guidance note on intellectual property rights and ABS; National strategy for the involvement of private sector in the ABS process.
I lead some field studies. The Main ones:
• Pilot study on the harmful effects of agricultural pesticides on health and environment (2016);
• Field mission in Mayo-Kani and Kupe Manengoumba Divisions in view of collecting Data and analyzing the value chain/market systems of genetics resources with high economic potential (2020).
I have gathered good communication skills and am able to present my ideas in a fluent and confident manner. Fluent in English and French, I have good basis in German, Spanish and Russian (lack of opportunities to practice those languages); Weak basis in Greek and Latin.
I have an experience on students’ trainings programs (with Montreal protocol on ozone layer project and with French embassy and Belgian consulate on the Promotion and attractiveness of their higher education systems) and capacity building programs of civil society (local communities, journalists, tradionnal healers) on ABS Protocol.
I worked for the Cameroonian waste exchange forum (2015) and developed the National forum on genetic resources (2025).
I proposed an Annual Environmental meeting (still in the pipe) and a sysmposium on sustainable Development (proposition stage).
I do not have a specialization in a particular equipment/models: i use the common equipment for my research works or any form of duty.
