Access to mental health services remains a significant challenge for over 116 million people across Africa. This is due to, among other challenges, cultural and spiritual beliefs, inadequate human resources and infrastructure, financing constraints, legal barriers as well as societal misconceptions.
The African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC) in partnership with Wellcome is set to launch a new initiative in 2024 that aims to address existing gaps in mental health research in Africa.

APHRC in partnership with Wellcome has launched the Mental Health Data Prize Africa, a project that aims the development and implementation of innovative solutions for mental health research and evidence generations in Africa. The goal of the prize is to produce tangible and scalable solutions that support mental health research practice and/ or to generate data driven insight/evidence tailored to the needs and priorities of the African mental health communities i.e., the project aims to understand what works in prevention, treatment and management of anxiety, depression and psychosis and to drive a transformative change in ways that are prioritized by people experiencing these problems in the African context.
