cited reference, In colonial Africa, scientific institutions were researching into ways of making life easier for expatriates, e.g., tropical medicine and the production of crops for export. With independence, the British handed over most of the research institutes and educational establishments to the new states, while the French retained a strong presence. There is now a severe shortage of trained scientists in black Africa, and heavy dependence on international assistance and transfer of knowledge. It is argued that more enduring structures for scientific and technological cooperation must be developed. (original)
