He has been studying Eastern African politics since 1993 and was previously deputy-director of the French Institute for Research in Africa (IFRA), based in Nairobi. A graduate from the Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris and a former Senior Associate Member at St Antony's College, Oxford, Dr Grignon has writen numerous articles and edited three books on the politics and political economy of East and Central African countries. Since he's joined ICG, Dr Grignon has authored and edited more than twenty reports and briefing papers of the political situation in Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
