I am detached to the Institute of Agricultural Research for Development (IRAD) and I work on the annual crops whose research activities that help to ensure food security and reduce poverty have the following objectives: - Develop varieties that are more productive and better suited to the needs of the market; - Ensure the protection of plants against diseases and pests.

L'OREAL UNESCO for Women in Science
UNESCO and the L’Oréal Corporate Foundation seek to recognise women researchers who, through the scope of their work, have contributed to overcoming today's global challenges. Faced with global challenges such as the acceleration of new technologies, aging populations or the threat to biodiversity, UNESCO and L’Oréal remain convinced that these women researchers will have a major impact on society and lay the foundations for the future. As such, UNESCO and L’Oréal want to contribute to their recognition and provide them with the means to continue their commitment to science with energy and passion.
