Yazoume serves as the technical director for the United States Agency for International Development global project malaria surveillance. Previously, he served as the deputy director for the Global Fund independent evaluation of Phase 1 of the Affordable Medicines Facility, covering eight malaria-endemic countries. In this role, Yazoume also led the malaria portfolio of the MEASURE Evaluation project.
Previously, Yazoume was a regional and technical coordinator in Nairobi, Kenya, for the World Health Organization’s Special Program for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases. He focused on impact evaluation of childhood illnesses in five malaria-endemic countries, including Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Malawi. Before that, Yazoume was an associate research scientist at the African Population and Health Research Center and was a guest scientist at the University of Heidelberg Medical School. He also served as a scientist at the Nouna Health Research Center, Ministry of Health in Burkina Faso, where he led the Department of Research Data and Information.
Yazoume’s research interests include impact evaluation of national-scale malaria control interventions and malaria epidemiology. He has experience providing technical assistance on developing surveillance monitoring and evaluation (SME) strategies and supporting country programs on developing surveillance and routine information systems for malaria. Yazoume has trained more than 400 health professionals in malaria SME from malaria-endemic countries in sub-Saharan Africa.
Yazoume is a member of the board of directors of the African Institute for Development Policy and the scientific advisor board of the Nouna Health Research Center. He is also a member of the International Advisory Board of Evidence for Sustainable Human Development System in Africa.
