Strengthening the Relationship with the MOH 
KEMRI has conducted various types of research contributing to infectious diseases 
control.  However, much of this research did not include consideration of the 
financial feasibility of reflecting the research outputs in the actual practice of disease 
control and cooperation with the implementation systems for infectious diseases 
control.    For instance, the pilot project for parasite control in Kwale was not reflected 
in the activities of the MOH due to a lack of consideration for the relationship with the 
MOH, even though the health condition of the villagers was improved by the project 
activities. 
As mentioned in Table 5.23, the responsible Ministry for KEMRI changed several 
times due to the reform of the government structure.    KEMRI explained that it had 
heard that their research outputs on infectious diseases control produced during the 
period 1983 – 1999 was when KEMRI belonged to ministries that did not have 
responsibility for the health sector.  This was also pointed out by reports of JICA 
projects.
