SPECIFIC PROJECT NEEDS
Infrastructure needs at Songhai Centre- Air conditioning for the microbiology laboratory
- Improving electrical supply for new equipment in the microbiology and the molecular biology laboratories
- Covering and insulating windows in the microbiology and molecular biology laboratories to control laboratory temperatures. Also improve electrical lighting to compensate for the loss of natural lighting from the windows.
- High speed internet connection to the national system is required to ensure the necessary access to international databases for DNA sequencing data
