Topics and Regions
Marcella contributes to data and information management. As a geographer and environmental scientist, her initial focus on sustainable farming got her into contact with peasants affected by tenure insecurity. In her early professional life, she worked for GIZ in the field of land rights - first on a multinational level and then in Côte d’Ivoire. After obtaining her bachelor’s degree in geography, she studied her master's in Mexico and did research in Guatemala. Having lived in six countries and speaking four languages, Marcella has now settled in Bonn.
