Muimba-Kankolongo is native of the Democratic Republic of Congo, holding a PhD in plant pathology as major and plant breeding and international agriculture as minors from Cornell University in the United States. He has worked for more than thirty years assisting small-scale farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa in crop production and protection for food security, a dedication he had made to all poor African farmers. His career started as head of the plant pathology section and then as director of the USAID-funded National Cassava Program (PRONAM) of the Ministry of Agriculture in DR Congo in 1977 to 1992. In 1994, he relocated to Zambia, where he served as a regional agronomist with the International Institute for Tropical Agriculture for the Southern Africa Root Crops Research Network project (IITA/SARRNET), overseeing plant protection on root crops in ten different southern African countries. From 2004 to 2013, Dr. Muimba-Kankolongo joined the Copperbelt University in Zambia as a faculty, lecturing crop production and plant protection and conducting research in agriculture. As chairman of the research committee in the School of Natural Resources, he successfully developed a strong research system through capacity building of students and faculty staff. His interest is plant disease epidemiology and etiology, focusing on pathogen-insect pest complex, sustainable disease management, food safety, and rural livelihood. He is an outstanding scholar, researcher, and teacher who has published several articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals and presented numerous papers at international workshops. He is a coauthor of one book and author for the second book on crop production in smallholding systems currently under review at IITA. Dr. Muimba is a member of the American Phytopathological Society and lives with his family in Ontario, Canada.
