Meanwhile Africa governments may find it easier outsource research to Chinese because it's expensive to fund, while its fruits are hard to harvest.

I think we could improve our research if it's handled using usual procurement process. A tender for research is floated and the lowest bidder to solve a problem is given tender. It's the only means to mainstream research locally.
