Personal

From Zoetele, Ndoudoumou has albinism, and consequently had to deal with a lot of discrimination growing up.[1][2] He is a traditional leader in Mvoutessi 1,[1] and is also active in his local religious community.[2]

Public service

Ndoudoumou also served as the President of the Cameroon branch of the World Association for Advocacy and Solidarity of Albinos (ASMODISA).[translations 2][12][13][1]

Sports administration

Ndoudoumou serves as the President of the Cameroonian Paralympic Committee.[14][15][16][17][18][19] He has held this position since the organization was formally created on August 21, 2011.[3] Ndoudoumou got the role following the elections for the position in August 2011, winning a four-year term after collecting 84 of the 87 available votes where he was the only candidate running.[12][13] Ndoudoumou was part of the Cameroon delegation that went to Rio for the 2016 Summer Paralympics.[20]
