In November 2009, the fifth Pan African Malaria conference was held in Nairobi. Thirteen years after the founding initiative in Dakar, the first African Secretariat based in Africa (TANZANIA) organized this major event for the malaria community. Looking back, it has been a long way: changes in the research landscape, new funding opportunities came out and establishment of new partnerships between Europe, America and Africa. Goals identified in 1997 have not all been achieved because the critical mass of scientists has not been reached yet. However a new generation of African scientists have emerged through MIM/TDR funding and advocacy for more support remains on the agenda. Could it be rightly stated today that the MIM concept reflects the africanization of malaria research?
2009 年 11 月，第五届泛非疟疾大会在内罗毕举行。在达喀尔发起倡议 13 年后，第一个设在非洲的非洲秘书处（坦桑尼亚）为疟疾界组织了这一重大活动。回顾过去，这是一段漫长的历程：研究领域发生了变化，出现了新的供资机会，欧洲、美洲和非洲之间建立了新的伙伴关系。1997 年确定的目标尚未全部实现，因为尚未达到关键的科学家人数。然而，通过 MIM/TDR 供资，新一代非洲科学家已经崭露头角，更多的支持仍然是议程上的事项。今天是否可以正确地说，MIM 概念反映了疟疾研究的非洲化？
