PhD Integrated Coastal Zone Management

2020/2021 Academic Year

KOCHONI Babatondé Innocent is from Benin. Since 2013, he has a Bachelor degree in Natural Sciences from the University of Abomey-Calavi, Benin. Then, in 2020, he obtained a Master of Science in Climate Change, Biodiversity and Sustainable Agriculture (Option: Climate Change, Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services) from the African Center of Excellence on Climate Change, Biodiversity and Sustainable Agriculture (CEA- CCBAD) from University Félix Houphouët Boigny , Ivory Coast.

After a period of professional internship at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA-Benin), he had to work from 2014 to 2016 in the Africa Center for Rice (AfricaRice / Benin) as a technician of research in plant protection, in the Phytopathology laboratory. And from 2016 to 2018, he held the position of plant protection research technician in the Banana Bunchy Top Deases (BBTD) project at the National University of Agriculture of Porto-Novo, Benin.

His area of interest and action relates to strategies to combat climate change, in particular: mitigation and adaptation, in particular, in coastal areas. It is in this same logic that his Master's work focused on the contribution of mangroves in the resilience of coastal communities to climate change for the conservation and restoration of this ecosystem.

Currently, he is a PhD student in Integrated Coastal Zone Management at the University of Cape Coast, Ghana, through the World Bank African Center of Excellence on Coastal Resilience (ACECoR) project scholarship. He hopes to come out of this training, equipped, seasoned and competent, to face the problems of degradation of our West African coasts by coastal erosion, floods, silting up of beaches, pollution, which endanger the well-being of coastal communities and facilities.
