Mawa Karambiri is a postdoc in International Forest Policy. Mawa completed her PhD in Forest Sciences at the University of Helsinki, Finland. In her thesis, she examined the (re)translation of global forest policy into local levels in sub-Sahara Africa/Burkina Faso and the implications for local democracy.

Her current research relates to the perceptions of gender inequality in public policies in Burkina Faso and in development cooperation/aid (within the SEQUAL project - Social-ecological relations and gender equality). She also works on issues of the forest sector as an inequality machine in the  Congo Basin (FOREQUAL project).
