Prepared by the investigation team based on the data provided by the NMIMR 
 
As a leading institute in Africa, the NMIMR, which has a sophisticated technology and 
infrastructure, conducts many collaborative research projects with foreign research 
institutes.    Case examples of collaborative research carried out by the NMIMR and 
foreign research institute are shown in Table 4.14.   
The amount of the research grants has also increased constantly since 1997, although 
there was no increment in grants from JICA.  Due to the increment in grants from 
other donors, the proportion of JICA assistance towards research grants decreased 
rapidly from 50% in 2000 to 15% in 2003 (see Table 4.17).
