    Africanizing scientific knowledge: the Multilateral Initiative on Malaria as a model?
    (2010-12-13) Ntoumi, Francine; Priebe, Gunilla; Department of Philosophy, Linguistics and Theory of Science, University of Gothenburg, Sweden
    Abstract In November 2009, the fifth Pan African Malaria conference was held in Nairobi. Thirteen years after the founding initiative in Dakar, the first African Secretariat based in Africa (TANZANIA) organized this major event for the malaria community. Looking back, it has been a long way: changes in the research landscape, new funding opportunities came out and establishment of new partnerships between Europe, America and Africa. Goals identified in 1997 have not all been achieved because the critical mass of scientists has not been reached yet. However a new generation of African scientists have emerged through MIM/TDR funding and advocacy for more support remains on the agenda. Could it be rightly stated today that the MIM concept reflects the africanization of malaria research?
