Cameroonian economist, Vera Songwe, has received a major international recognition after being appointed an Ordinary Member of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences by Pope Leo XIV on March 9, 2026. Dr. Songwe, a native of Bamendankwe in Bamenda, North West Region, joins the Vatican-based academy that advises the Holy See on key social, economic, and development issues affecting the world. Her appointment comes just weeks before the Pope’s historic visit to Cameroon scheduled from April 15 to 18, 2026, during which the Pontiff is expected to travel to Yaounde, Bamenda, and Douala. A globally respected economist, Dr Songwe previously served as Executive Secretary of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa after her appointment in August 2017. She has also held senior positions at the World Bank and the International Finance Corporation, where she was named Regional Director for West and Central Africa in 2015. Her influence has long been recognized internationally. In 2013, Forbes listed her among the “20 Young Powerful Women of Africa,” while the Choiseul Institute for International Policy and Geoeconomics named her among the “African Leaders of Tomorrow” in 2014. #MMINews
