GLOGORENA is the result of a successful initial collaboration between an IRD researcher (Symphorian Ongolo) and a researcher at the Institute of International Relations of Cameroon (IRIC). GLOGORENA is also the result of a rigorous selection process and a highly selective competition aimed at strengthening links between North-South scientific communities.
JEAI GLOGORENA, a research facility in the social sciences, funded by IRD and housed at IRIC, aims at training and capacity building for young researchers through involvement in collective research processes and teaching through the mobilisation of empirical data. This system consists of a group of senior and junior researchers whose work focuses on public policy and natural resource governance in the Congo Basin, and in particular in Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). This IRD device known as JEAI GLOGORENA has a duration of three years (2024-2026) non-renewable.
GLOGORENA's approach is interdisciplinary! It combines the practices of sociologists, anthropologists, economists and political science. All this in order to identify, grasp and analyse the relations, practices and power relations between the actors of natural resource governance in the Congo basin, particularly in Cameroon and the DRC, in an international atmosphere where discourses on the ecological transition and the enhanced presence of China predominate.
A commitment to the present and future of the planet by creating bridges between research and action.
