[Dr. Catherine Kyobutungi Muzukulu wa Bityo @CKyobutungi]

What struck me most is the critique of credibility proxies: “Funders are rewarding institutional reputation and publication history over actual implementation capacity and contextual knowledge. A local organization that deeply understands the community it serves can lose out to a well-branded Northern institution that knows how to write a proposal. That's a system measuring the wrong things”

With this news there will be a lot of misinformation flowing on different channels. I'd like to bring back this article from #2023

#Marburg Virus outbreaks are not new & have been managed before. Stay vigilant & follow guidance. Combat misinformation.

[Farhan Yusuf @faryus88]

O young person, as we enter #2025 think about the fact that applying to every opportunity that comes your way & creating a "jack of all trades & master of none" persona can very easily backfire. Build your core competency & professional identity first before going down this path
