Fon Tangum was born in Ngwokwong at the dawn of independence in Cameroon. He grew up in the hills and valleys of Gam and is very conversant with the traditions and beliefs of the people of this remarkable land.
He holds an Ingénieur d’Application en Génie Rural certificate from the Hassan II University in Morocco and a Masters in Engineering for Development from the University of Southampton in England.
He works for international organisations involved in the fight against poverty across most of Africa. He believes and likes to share with whoever would listen that poor communities are more likely to become poverty-free if their autonomy and self-reliance are founded on their locally available resources, knowledge and culture.
His first novel, Ifuh, was published in Cameroon in 2007.
He is married to Laetitia Nande, and they have three children: Tameri, Afor, and Bessem.view less
