About the consortia

Led by Dr Dixon Chibanda, AMARI aims to equip researchers to lead high quality mental health research programmes that meet the needs of their countries, and to establish a sustainable career path for these researchers. A particular focus is on integrating mental, neurological and substance use (MNS) research into existing programmes such as HIV/AIDS, maternal and child health work.

Partners: Addis Ababa University, College of Medicine - University of Malawi, University of Cape Town and University of Zimbabwe. These are supported by three UK universities namely, King’s College London, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, and Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine.
