The African Mental Health Research Initiative (AMARI) is a capacity-building program for mental health research. AMARI-II expands on AMARI-I, which operated from 2015 to 2022.

AMARI-II is a consortium of six African institutions with the overarching purpose of developing excellence in leadership, training, and science among African academics in the field of mental, neurological, and substance use (MNS) research in Africa. AMARI-II aspires to change the global mental health (GMH) center of gravity by ensuring that African scientists become leaders in GMH research, training and implementation.
