Current Job Socio-Anthropologist
Personal Statement I am a qualitative researcher with a background in medical anthropology. My work focuses on a variety of health domains such as malaria, malaria
in pregnancy, antibiotics resistance and nutrition. My contributions in these domains were particularly focused on the application of qualitative
methods such as interviews, group discussion and observations. Furthermore, I had the opportunity to learning innovative data collection tools
and community engagement approach which allowed me to capture relevant and context- specific data which fit with the research interests at CRUN.
Broadly, I am currently engaged in diverse collaborative research projects such as:
– Ethnographic research on antibiotics resistance in rural communities
– Development of novel diagnostics for the management of febrile illnesses
– Implementation of novel antibiotic resistance surveillance for humans and livestock
– Mitigating climate changes on health in Burkina Faso
– Increasing the uptake of intermittent preventive treatment (IPTp) through seasonal malaria chemoprevention channel delivery
Education 1. PhD candidate in social and political sciences – Expected end year: 2024
2. Master in sociology of development
3. Bachelor in Sociology of development
