Background
|
Ami Bienvenu holds a Master’s degree in Medical Anthropology from the University of Yaoundé I and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Medical Anthropology at the same institution. His academic and research interests focus on public health, community health systems, medical anthropology, and qualitative health research in Cameroon. Over the years, he has built strong field experience through active participation in several health and social research projects across multiple regions of Cameroon. In January 2026, he strengthened his expertise in qualitative research through a capacity-building training in qualitative data analysis using NVivo software, organized by the Cameroonian Laboratory for Studies and Research on Contemporary Societies (CERESC). Ami Bienvenu has collaborated with several research institutions and public health organizations as a data collector, supervisor, trainer, and qualitative research consultant. Between 2025 and 2026, he worked extensively with the Fobang Institute for Innovations in Science and Technology (FINISTECH) on projects related to HPV vaccination implementation, malaria interventions, and health policy evaluation in Cameroon. As part of the HPV-PASSREV project, he also served as a trainer for community health workers in the Northern and Far Northern regions of Cameroon. In July 2025, he contributed as a data collector officer to a collaborative research project between the Institute for Medical Research and Studies in Medicinal Plants and the University of Glasgow, which explored perceptions of quality of life among rural and peri-urban populations in Cameroon. Earlier in May 2025, he participated in a study on foodscapes and nutritional habits in the Foumbot population with the Centre for Population Studies and Health Promotion (CPSHP). His professional experience also includes work with Médecins du Monde, Sightsavers, the Ministry of Agriculture, and Recherche Santé et Développement (RSD-Institute), where he contributed to projects addressing nutrition, disability inclusion, demographic mobility, agricultural transitions, and health system strengthening. From October 2023 to February 2024, he served as a Junior Qualitative Consultant for the Scaling Up Nutrition project at RSD-Institute. |
