Holding a Master's degree in Natural and Environmental Resources Management from the University of Tamatave, he joined the ECDD project early on as a facilitator. His in-depth knowledge of the field and his skills enabled him to become the Executive Director of Dahari upon its creation in 2013. He later received a capacity-building scholarship from the UK government's Darwin Initiative to undertake training in conservation and sustainable development in England, France, and Madagascar. He returned to the Comoros a year later to take up the position of Strategic Coordinator, then Technical Director, and finally Co-Director.
