The Africa CDC has launched a new Mental Health Leadership Programme (AMHLP) to address the African population’s mental health challenges.
Funded by Wellcome, the programme forms part of the Africa CDC’s continental strategic priorities on NCDs, Injuries, and Mental health, which lays out a clear pathway for coordinated actions and support for Member States on public mental health.
The programme has four pillars which are:
- Support the integration of Mental health into the existing Africa CDC Kofi Annan Global Health Leadership Programme
- Establish an African Field Epidemiology Training Programme (FETP) in Global Mental Health.
- Implement the Short Public Mental Health Leadership Courses
- Strengthen the Networking and Civil Society Engagement
It is funded by Wellcome Trust, and implemented by the Africa Centres for Disease Control (CDC), AFENET and CBM Global, with other partners.
