Very interesting questions. All your questions are the result of your passion to bring change in your environment. But this goes beyong Sciences: To help you to figure out what I try to explain, these are also some useful questions to meditate upon:

  1. Why should all African research funding not internal?
  2. Who defined your subject as world’s most neglected problem?
  3. Is it "world’s most neglected problems "according to western world or is it the reality of all countries?
  4. Shoul we need to survive while building a career with the desire to solve a local pertinent problem so call "world’s most neglected problems"?

    This  will help you understand that your questions is rooted on a fundamental problem of African base structure of governance and politic. Until there is a deep change of paradigm in our African leaders perspective and vision, research career will be mostly be influence by external.

    The biggest challenge and the first step in maintaining your dream is therefore to raise or develop local funding that will support your research areas and subsequently your professional career.
