Chinenye Monde-Anumihe ’13 BA (IR) was
recently featured in Guardian Woman,
in a Q&A highlighting her efforts to bring international relations and
human rights work together with business and development.
Throughout the article, Monde-Anumihe speaks about the importance
of advancing women’s rights and fighting against patriarchal ideologies. She
focused especially on the need to increase women’s access to education across
Nigeria so that women are more empowered to make decisions and help lead the
country moving forward.
Currently the head of partnerships and
fundraising for SHAPE Africa 2020’s Project Management Committee, Monde-Anumihe
advocates for expanding public-private partnerships so as to help address
challenges facing Africa today. Her efforts with underserved and marginalized
communities in Nigeria include working to end the stigmatization of
menstruation and helping to build financial and digital literacy. Monde-Anumihe
is also the co-founder of Survivors Voice International, a foundation
supporting cancer survivors, those still battling cancer, and those close to
them.
Before moving to Lagos, Monde-Anumihe spent
time working for the United Nations Institute for Training and Research in
Geneva. She was also a member of the World Economic Forum’s Global Shapers
Community. In her current work, Monde-Anumihe continues to advocate for UN
Sustainable Development Goal 17, which promotes advancing sustainable
development through partnerships between government, private sector, and civil
society actors. Alongside her bachelor’s degree from Maxwell, Monde-Anumihe
