@wmguyster Talking to one person doesn't make you a judge on systems of science advice. I know Tanzania well and there right now.@chiume1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@calestous@chiume Better to strengthen existing systems than ignore them. Too many people already bash African HR; no use in joining them.4 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@calestous@chiume Does COSTECH not see itself as the NSF equivalent in Tz? That's what I was told. Also, US "pres advisors" are cronies.3 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@calestous@chiume Saying African leaders have no science advisors plays to G8/AID; harms Africa for private enterprise and FDI. Good luck.3 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@wmguyster@chiume Illogical to say Africa can't seek to improve its innovation system otherwise it will lose private enterprise and FDI.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@calestous@chiume Ask@bill_easterly or@dambisamoyo More donor aid=less private sector invest. Africa doesn't always need to follow West.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@wmguyster @chiume @bill_easterly @dambisamoyo This is your argument, not mine. I work on innovation systems, not aid.
