I am a multidisciplinary scholar with decades of experience researching, publishing, and consulting for governments and international organizations on critical issues, including gender, land and water management, climate change, food security, and conflict in Africa. My current research investigates how communities in Cameroon navigate the dual crises of climate change and armed conflict. Additionally, I analyze how African cities are adapting to climate-induced urbanization and its associated water, food, and security challenges by interrogating municipal governance in East and Central Africa.
