Thanks for sharing this, it’s not easy to be so open, but I’m sure many people can relate to what you’re feeling. What you’ve done with the Africa Phage Forum and CENPBAT already sounds like a big step forward, even if support has been hard to find.
Have you come across any smaller funders or networks (maybe outside EA) that are more open to capacity-building projects in Nigeria/West Africa? Sometimes it feels like the challenge is less about the idea and more about finding people who really get the context.
