Merck Vaccine Network - Africa (2)
----------------------------------

The wording of the Merck Vaccine Network - Africa REQUEST FOR 
PROPOSALS confused me at first:

> "The Merck Company Foundation is soliciting proposals from academic
> institutions, working in collaboration with academic institutions
> in Africa ..."

until I realised the problem: the first mention of "academic institu-
tions" does not include African ones. 

Is this based on the assumption that African academic institutions 
are not capable of doing the work by themselves? 

Is this assumption correct?
