From the Ted Talk by Abdoulaye Diabaté: How to end malaria once and for all

Unscramble the Blue Letters


And so for that, we've built our engagement strategy on the pyramidal structure, starting with the vlalegis where we operate all the way to the top with the government officials. The engagement is done step-by-step. It’s done in an iclunsive way and also is done in full tnpranreacsy.

ladeis and gentlemen, there is one more thing that needs to be done before gene drive can be released in the felid in Africa. That is capacity binlduig. Gene drive holds a lot of promises, but it will not take us anywhere if we Africans aren’t enabled to run it on our own. Sadly, the tacneichl platform in Africa is really very poor, and this has to be solved before we can really beat malaria. And so for that, we've set up in Burkina Faso a World Bank-funded cteenr of excellence on vector-borne diseases, like malaria. And also with additional funds from the Gates Foundation, we are building a critical mass of next generation setnicstis all over the continent to fill the knowledge gap and the know-how gap as well.

Original Text


And so for that, we've built our engagement strategy on the pyramidal structure, starting with the villages where we operate all the way to the top with the government officials. The engagement is done step-by-step. It’s done in an inclusive way and also is done in full transparency.

Ladies and gentlemen, there is one more thing that needs to be done before gene drive can be released in the field in Africa. That is capacity building. Gene drive holds a lot of promises, but it will not take us anywhere if we Africans aren’t enabled to run it on our own. Sadly, the technical platform in Africa is really very poor, and this has to be solved before we can really beat malaria. And so for that, we've set up in Burkina Faso a World Bank-funded center of excellence on vector-borne diseases, like malaria. And also with additional funds from the Gates Foundation, we are building a critical mass of next generation scientists all over the continent to fill the knowledge gap and the know-how gap as well.
