Research approval in Malawi has a system that is too bureaucratic, they meet once every 3 months and they demand a 10% cut from your research budget, please make the room more conducive for researchers, stop this Church like “tithing” fees, put something standardized and more affordable, use internet and share the scripts and meet more often, otherwise this money will be returned to the funders at the end… That’s shameful.

We used to have many research stations in Malawi from Ngabu to Makoka but nothing came out!!!!! Perhaps in the healthy field something positive will come out.

I agree with number 2. This meeting syndrome has to come to an end. It is in general a waste of resources with minimal exceptions. Please produce tangible results.

Too many obstacles to do research in Malawi. Costly fees yet the same monies are returned at the end of the year. The rest for meetings and meetings and meetings

it will be travel, allowances, shopping and an addition on the CV, nothing more. whatever they will find in terms of research will be handed over to the westerners and our researchers will be back to their teaching posts in the universities. Dont expect anything from this. Many similar researches have been done in africa using african scientists but up no none of them have been awarded scientific awards, none of our african scientists have come up with any cure for our diseases. even the cure for Ebola will come from the West
