Researcher
Health system, infectious diseases, cancers, maternal, newborn and child health, sexual and reproductive health and rights

I am a researcher, consultant and advocate in population and global health. My specific areas of interest include infectious diseases, cancers, adolescent and youth health, maternal and child health. I have built capacities in the design, implementation and the evaluation of public health programs and interventions. Throughout my academic and work experiences, I have provided leadership and technical assistance on diverse projects in Sub-Saharan Africa, France, the United-Kingdom and Canada. Selected as an Emerging voice for Global Health 2020, I belong to a generation of young African leaders who are achieving cutting-edge work while advocating for health equity and social justice. Since 2018, I have co-developed the Women in Global Health Francophone initiative to advocate for Francophone Women inclusion in population and global health decision making for health equity, social equality and environmental justice. I am leading this initiative in West Africa where intersectional factors (language, culture, religion…) limit women participation in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, and their contribution to decision making. I have also co-founded two NGOs in Burkina Faso: “African Crossroad development” (working to improve access to care and the living condition of populations in rural areas) and “African Group Organized for action and Research in Health” ( a health-dedicated think tank with the mission to contribute to better health governance through research, advocacy, and actions). Born in Burkina Faso, I holds a PhD and a Master’s degree in Epidemiology and Public Heath from the University of Burgundy (France); and a Doctoral Degree in Pharmacy from the Mohammed V University in Rabat (Morocco). I am benefiting from a post-Ph.D. training in transdisciplinary research on public policies promoting health and for health system improvement at McGill University and the “Institut national de santé publique du Québec” as part of The Canadian Institutes of Health research Health System Impact Fellowship (HSIF) program. As a research associate at the Public Health Institute and the University Joseph Ki-Zerbo in Burkina Faso, I am co-chair of the O.R. Tambo Africa Research Chair in Research and Action Against Cancer as part of the ORTARChI.
