My Vision for Future Africa

I am a sociologist by training but a multidisciplinary researcher by training. My research affects almost every facet of man in his social environment. One constant variable in my scientific research is my interest on gender issues in Africa. I have a particular interest on women and vulnerable people and poor rural people in Africa. This has been a recurring theme in most of my research. My contributions to advance science in my field are that my recommendations are being used when making policy relevant documents. Gender issues are something that developed countries of the world take very seriously, and it is something that is still underdeveloped in Africa. As a member of some working groups, such as the intergovernmental platform on biodiversity and Ecosystems services (IPBES), my work on Africa is being included in policy documents that can be used by African Governments. Furthermore, I have a website on climate change and environmental issues in Africa (www.africaclimatechange.com) which seeks to engage scholars in Africa who are researching on environmental issues such as climate change, as well as bring about solutions and knowledge that can be used in tackling such issues.
