Multilateral experience
Passionate about governance, public policy analysis and international development, Coumba already holds solid practical experience of multilateral diplomacy. In November 2024, she stood out as a Delegate to the UNICEF Committee at the National Model United Nations in Washington, D.C.
Her high-level research, child-rights policy proposals and negotiation of complex resolutions helped her delegation win the Distinguished Delegation Award.

Beyond a command of operational and logistical processes honed within demanding organisations, including Apple Inc., Coumba intervenes transversally on:
- The analysis of governance policies across Africa;
- Coordination of initiatives linked to youth engagement;
- Drafting of strategic notes;
- Monitoring of AGI’s international commitments.
Coumba contributes to AGI’s analysis of governance policies across Africa, coordinates youth-engagement initiatives and helps monitor the Institute’s international commitments. She holds a BA in Political Science from the University of Houston and represented her delegation at the National Model United Nations in Washington, D.C.
