"The big problem with PhD in Africa is fundings. Without funding, you can be smart but you cannot complete your PhD. So I came here in YASE to learn how I could get fundings more easily. Moreover, my work is about taxonomy, and it is very difficult to have fundings because there is a huge gap between Europe and Africa. In Europe, everything is already set, meanwhile in Africa we are just beginning to study biodiversity."
