Monono

Dr. Eyole Nganje Monono is a scholar and development practitioner whose academic and field work spans the sociology and anthropology of development, land governance, food safety, and African Union institutional affairs. A Lecturer at the University of Buea, she brings rigorous social science analysis and practical programme management expertise to CEREDDA's continental agenda.

As a member of the ECOSOCC 4th General Assembly, she is directly embedded in the African Union's civil society engagement infrastructure — giving CEREDDA a meaningful voice within the Union's deliberative bodies on governance, peace and security, and human development.

Her published research on the Cameroon Development Corporation Banana Sector — a landmark study covering seven decades of agroindustrial transformation — exemplifies her commitment to evidence-based analysis of development challenges at the intersection of economic policy, land rights, and food systems governance.
